The Women's Super League (WSL) transfer window might have only officially opened on Friday but already there have been some big moves in and out of the league.
Such is the nature of women's football, massive sums of money aren't always on the table with many players taking short-term contracts with clubs and then moving on when their deal ends. However, the money involved in transfers is trending upward.
In 2020, spending on women's football transfers surpassed $1 million for the first time ever and rose to $2.1m in 2021. FIFA revealed in February that only 21 of the 257 moves made during the January transfer window involved a fee but that spending on those few was up 57.
