#7 Milene Domingues

The women’s soccer World Cup begins on July 20, 2023. A few days earlier, the second most expensive transfer in women’s football was announced. The Brazilian Milene Domingues previously held the record for 18 years. The then 22-year-old set it up in 2002 when she switched from the Italian club Flammamonza to the Spanish club Rayo Vallecano. The transfer fee was $310,000, around €235,000 at the time. By the way, Domingues followed her husband to Spain, the Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo. “According to her husband, she plays like Zinedine Zidane,” the BBC reported on Domingues at the time. The ex-model and Ronaldo have a son together. The marriage lasted from 1999 to 2003. In the year of the divorce, the midfielder competed with the Brazilian national team at the World Cup.
