Club career

Cascarino signed her first professional contract in 2015. In June 2016, Cascarino left Olympique Lyonnais as she felt that she would not have been selected due to a lack of first team opportunities.[3] She moved to FCF Juvisy (later renamed as Paris FC) on a two-year contract.[4]

On 9 July 2021, Paris Saint-Germain announced the signing of Cascarino on a three-year deal.[5]
