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.[4] She moved to FCF Juvisy (later renamed as Paris FC) on a two-year contract.[5]

On 18 August 2023, Cascarino joined Juventus on a two-year contract until 30 June 2025.[9]
