List of most expensive women's association football transfers
The following is a list of most expensive women's association football transfers, which details the highest transfer fees ever paid for players, as well as transfers which set new world transfer records.
The first transfer in women's football reported as a record was that of Milene Domingues from Fiammamonza to Rayo Vallecano in 2002, two decades before professionalism in Spanish women's football. The current transfer record was set by the transfer of Naomi Girma from San Diego Wave to Chelsea for $1.1 million in January 2025.
Prior to women's football teams having oversight from football federations, compensation was still paid for some transfers. The first compensated transfer of a female footballer was of Molly Walker, from Lancaster Ladies to Dick, Kerr Ladies in 1918; Walker was offered expenses paid as well as payment in lieu for joining the team.[1][2] In the 1970s, various teams in Italy, and Olímpico de Villaverde in Spain, offered a signing fee for some players;[3][4] in 1973, Conchi Sánchez was paid Pts 75,000 (approximately €300 at the time) to leave Villaverde and join Gamma 3 Padova in Italy,[4] with Stade de Reims in France offering Pts 1 million for Villaverde's Victoria Hernández a few weeks later.[5] Padova paid transfer bonuses in 1973, for German players Christia Nusser and Monika Bardof, "that would be desired by male players of [Spain's] Tercera División, and some of Segunda."[6]

El fútbol femenino alemán cuenta con 11,000 jugadoras con licencia federativa. Y sus "estrellas" empiezan a cotizarse y los traspasos están de moda. De cualquier forma, en Italia se paga más y se están llevando a las más destacadas jugadoras alemanas. Así, el Padua ha fichado a la delantero centro, Christia Nusser y a la defensa central Mónika Bardof, con primas de fichaje que ya quisieran para sí nuestros jugadores de Tercera División y algunos de Segunda.
