"At age 19, she is already one of the most exciting players in the world, Angel City sporting director Mark Parsons said in a statement. We will continue to support her as she develops as a pro and elevates her game. She is making a significant impact on the club and we look forward to many more years with her as part of the Angel City family."
"Gisele Thompson, 19, signed a three-year contract with Angel City in December 2023, when she was halfway through her senior year at the Harvard-Westlake School. That deal reportedly included a base salary of $525,000 in addition to a housing stipend and other benefits that drove the overall value to well over $600,000. Thirteen months later she signed a two-year extension to stay with the team through 2028. On Thursday the club added another year, retaining Gisele's rights through 2029."
"Yet that doesn't mean Gisele Thompson will be with Angel City through 2029. Her sister also signed a contract extension last January, one that was intended to keep her with the team through 2028. But she went to Chelsea anyway after the English club offered a record $1.65 million transfer fee. Gisele has also drawn significant interest in Europe and now that her sister and roommate has left Angel City, she has even more reason to leave."
Gisele Thompson, 19, signed a new Angel City contract that retains her rights through the end of the 2029 season. Financial terms were not released but the deal is likely to place her among the highest-paid players in the NWSL. Thompson previously inked a three-year contract in December 2023 with a reported $525,000 base salary plus housing and benefits, and later signed a two-year extension through 2028. Alyssa Thompson moved to Chelsea for a record $1.65 million transfer fee, increasing European interest in Gisele and prompting Angel City to secure greater leverage over her future.
