Discussions were going on for several days. It was being said that Naomi Girma, the defender of the United States women's soccer team, can set the record for the first million dollar transfer fee in women's soccer. After successful talks with Chelsea, that rumor is now on its way to becoming a reality. Girma is going to register her name in English club Chelsea from San Diego Wave, setting a transfer fee record in women's football. All negotiations are over, both parties have accepted all terms of the contract, now only the signing is left. When that work is done, Girma will become history.
Chelsea is paying a transfer fee of 1.1 million or 1.1 million dollars for Girma. Earlier, the highest transfer record in women's football was held by Zambia's Rachel Kundananzi. Last year, she was joined by American club Bay FC for a transfer fee of $860,000 from Madrid Women's Football Club. But there is a difference between Girma and Kundananji, Girma is a defender, Kundananji is a forward. In football transfers, clubs usually spend more on forwards. Their success is more visible to football fans. Because they score goals, score goals. The work of a defender there is less visible. So, even as a defender, Girma's achievement of such a milestone is a little more great.
