Geyse, the forward for Manchester United, made her first Women's Super League appearance of 2025 in a 2-0 victory against Leicester on Sunday. She entered the game as a late substitute, marking her return to the field following compassionate leave due to her brother's passing. Despite her return, Geyse expressed discontent on social media, describing her experience as "an agonising and lonely feeling" and voicing her desire for change.
"Staying in a place where we don't feel happy is an agonising and lonely feeling." – Geyse
Manchester United finds itself in advanced discussions with Gotham FC in the United States, hoping to finalize an agreement soon. The club, while denying efforts to sell Geyse against her will, has been actively collaborating with Geyse and her agent, Luis Felipe Silva, to find a suitable resolution during this challenging period. Silva highlighted the club's approach, stating that it has demonstrated a lack of reliance on Geyse, emphasizing her right to decide her future.
"The club has clearly shown that it does not count on Geyse. Man Utd tried to loan Geyse to a club in the USA, but the player has the right to decide about her future and the club she will play for." – Silva
Manchester United has reportedly explored multiple options for Geyse to move to North America, which would bring her closer to family in Brazil. Despite preferring not to lose her mid-season, United respects Geyse's wishes to return to America. Discussions for a potential loan move to NWSL side Gotham FC have been ongoing with her full awareness and consent. The club has extended significant support, swiftly facilitating her travel back to Brazil and granting three weeks of compassionate leave.
"Every day seems heavier, and the simple fact of being there becomes a burden. The environment, which should be welcoming, becomes a field of discomfort, where inner peace is difficult to find." – Geyse
Geyse's agent reiterated that the club initially sought a loan transfer while she attended her brother’s funeral.
"The best solution for all parties is to leave and, I repeat, Man Utd was the first to try to loan the player when she was at her brother's funeral." – Silva
