London’s club has been reported that it has signed a world record contract as an American defender and a women’s soccer player.
Chelsea was reported as a world record for a women’s soccer player, and was reported by San Diego Wave that he had signed a contract with US national team defender Naomi Gilma.
Gilma’s acquisition amount is considered to be 900,000 euros (approximately 110 million yen) for Chelsea, with Bay FC at 685,000 euros (approximately $ 718,976) paid by Bay FC to Rachel Kundanandang. It exceeded the world record.
The 24 -year -old was unveiled on the pitch by the Women’s Super League Champion before the match against Arsenal in Stanford Bridge on Sunday.
“I’m very happy to be here and I’m really excited. I don’t think it’s real,” Gilma said on a Chelsea website.
“Chelsea has a lot of things to want to come here, such as culture, victory mentality, staff, and players. This is the best environment to learn and grow.”
Gilma will be the first contractor in the January transfer market for Chelsea Women’s Sonia Bon Pastor.
Chelsea’s defender Kaddaisha Buchanan was targeted by Bon Pastor, as he had an anterior crucian ligament injury and could miss the remaining season.
This amount exceeded the British records that Chelsea, one year ago, when Levante won the striker Myra Ramirez for 384,000 euros ($ 4003,046).
Gilma contributed to the victory of the American national team at the Parisian Pillion Pollians last year, and was selected in 2023 as the best female player in US soccer.
“Naomi is a world -class defender and is now in its heyday,” said Chelsea’s Women’s Soccer Division Paul Green.
