Her new club confirms the recruitment on its website. Asllani herself is pleased.

"I'm glad to sign for London City Lionesses and look forward to contributing to the team's success", says the 34-year-old.

It has been clear since earlier that Asllani will leave Milan after her contract with the Italian club expires on June 30. She thanked earlier in June on her Instagram.

"I have worn this historic jersey with pride. Thanks to Milan, the supporters, and my teammates for two years of memories together".

The contract is signed for two years.

"We have the opportunity to write a new chapter in the club's history, and our goal this season is to turn Michele's vision into reality on the pitch", says Asllani.

For Asllani, it will be her second stint in English football. She played for Manchester City in 2016–2017.
