The bid for Mary Earps is thought to be a world record for a goalkeeper in the womens game; Earps played in all seven of Englands matches at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand as they lost in the final to Spain; she has one year left on her deal at Man Utd
Nike has agreed to put a"limited" number of Mary Earps' England goalkeeper shirts on sale after bowing to pressure from fans over their availability.
Nike said in a statement:"Nike has secured limited quantities of goalkeeper jerseys for England, , France and the Netherlands to be sold through the federation websites over the coming days, and we are also in conversations with our other federation partners. Nike originally defended its decision after Sunday's final, which saw Spain beat England 1-0 in Sydney, saying they were"working towards solutions for future tournaments".
The Manchester United player picked up the FIFA Best award for the world's best goalkeeper earlier this year, as well as taking home the Golden Glove from the Women's World Cup, after saving a penalty in Sunday's final defeat.
