Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing US international defender Naomi Girma from the San Diego Wave, with a world-record transfer fee likely needed to secure the deal. Lyon have also made a bid, reportedly a women's record $1 million, for the 24-year-old. Chelsea are known to be willing to spend big in January, and Girma's potential arrival could address their defensive needs following Kadeisha Buchanan's ACL injury.
Chelsea are interested in signing San Diego Wave defender Naomi Girma , with a world-record fee likely to be needed in order to complete a deal. Lyon are also keen on signing Girma, with The Atheltic reporting that the French club have bid a women's record $1m fee for the 24-year-old.
Chelsea aren't afraid to spend big in January, you only have to look at the £400k they spent on Mayra Ramirez and the league-leading contract they initially signed Sam Kerr on. Another reason why Chelsea may want to sign Girma now is Kadeisha Buchanan is out for the season with an ACL injury. Girma, who is out of contract at the end of 2026, seems likely to head for Europe. Many see her as the best central defender in the world. Now someone has to prove that financially.
