Women’s Football: World Record Transfer!
By Prof Dr Ian Blackshaw
Records have also been broken in the 2025 Summer Transfer Window for the women’s game.
London City Lionesses have agreed a £1.4 million (around €1.6 million) world record fee for the transfer of the midfielder, Grace Geyoro, from Paris St-Germain, on the deadline day of 4 September 2025 in the Women's Super League.
Geyoro, who is 28 years old, has 103 caps for France with particular experience in the Champions League.
Her transfer means that London City have made 16 permanent signings in a busy summer during which wealthy American owner of the club, Michele Kang, has demonstrated that she is willing to invest in her team.
The agreed fee for Geyoro beats the £1.1 million (around €1.2 million), paid by Orlando Pride to Tigres UANL for Lizbeth Ovalle, the Mexico winger, in August 2025, which, at that time, was the highest fee paid for a player in the women's game.
