Chelsea have signed Colombian forward Mayra Ramirez from Levante in a world record deal for a female footballer.
The Blues have paid 450,000 euros (£382,800) up front but Levante are set to receive an extra 50,000 euros (£42,600) in add-ons.
The total fee surpasses the previous record which was set when Keira Walsh moved from Manchester City to Barcelona for £350,000 in 2022.
Chelsea moved quickly to secure Ramirez following the long-term injury to star striker Sam Kerr, who ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament on the club’s warm weather training camp earlier this month.
