Real Madrid Land First Female Signing in Shape of Sweden Star Kosovare Asllani

Real Madrid have completed the signing of their first ever female player after Sweden international Kosovare Asllani confirmed that she will be joining the club ahead of the 2019/20 season.

Having not previously operated a women's team unlike the rest of Europe's biggest clubs, Los Blancos have recently taken over local women's team CD Tacon. The club name will remain unchanged this season, but Tacon will be rebranded to Real Madrid in 2020.

It was therefore Tacon, newly promoted to Liga Femenina after finishing top of the Spanish second tier last season, who announced the transfer. But Asllani herself mentioned both clubs on social media, expressing particular excitement about the famous white kit.
