Women's Football World Record Transfers

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

The world record transfer fee paid for a women’s footballer stood for 18 years between 2002 and 2020.

Milene Domingues, then wife of Brazil’s Ronaldo, had that status for nearly two decades after she moved to Spanish side Rayo Vallecano from Fiammamonza in Italy for a reported £200,000 ($250,000 at today’s rates). That was eventually surpassed by Pernille Harder’s move from Germany’s Wolfsburg to Chelsea for a reported £250,000.
