This makes the Colombian striker the most expensive Super League signing to date. At the same time, bonuses in the contract could make her the most expensive female soccer player in the world – close to five million kroner, reports Sky Sports.
Mayra Ramirez, who scored five goals this year for Levante in the Spanish league, has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the London club.
The previous transfer record in women’s football was when Keira Walsh left Manchester City for Barcelona for a reported fee close to £4.3 million.
Ramirez thus joins the Swedes Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Zecira Musovic and Nathalie Björn. Chelsea lead the Women’s Super League by three points ahead of Manchester City.
