Racheal Kundananji of Zambia has signed for Bay FC from Madrid CFF for $860,000 (£685,000), making her the most expensive women’s football player in history.
The forward signed a four-year contract with the American team, with an option for an additional year. He scored 33 goals in 43 Liga F games for Madrid.
This year, Bay FC will play in their first National Women’s Soccer League.
The 23-year-old Kundananji breaks the world transfer record, making history as the first male or female player from Africa.
Keira Walsh, who moved from Manchester City to Barcelona in 2022 for £400,000, was previously the most expensive women’s player.
Kundanaji joins fellow Africans Princess Marfo, and Asisat Oshoala at the Carlifonian club.
