In a landmark move for women's football, Mayra Ramirez, the 24-year-old Colombian striker, has set a new benchmark in the transfer market.
By joining Chelsea from Spanish club Levante, Ramirez's transfer, valued at 450,000 euros, has made her the most expensive female footballer in history. The deal could potentially rise to 500,000 euros, contingent on her playing at least 30% of the matches for Chelsea.
This historic transfer surpasses the previous record held by English midfielder Keira Walsh, who moved from Manchester City to Barcelona for 400,000 euros in 2022.
This transfer milestone goes beyond just numbers; it represents the evolving landscape of women's football, where the players' prowess and marketability are receiving their due acknowledgment.
Mayra Ramirez's move topples the previous record set by England's Keira Walsh, highlighting the increasing investment and competitive spirit brewing in women's leagues across Europe.
As the new season unfolds, all eyes will be on Mayra Ramirez, not just as a record-breaking transfer but as a symbol of progress and ambition in women's football.
