Washington Spirit have completed the signing of Tanzanian forward Clara Luvanga from Saudi club Al-Nassr, in a move that could rewrite the record books for women's football transfers, according to BBC News.
While the exact fee hasn't been confirmed, the deal is understood to be among the most expensive in the sport's history — with reports suggesting it may even represent a new world record for a women's transfer.
Luvanga's switch to the NWSL marks a significant statement of intent from Washington Spirit, who have moved decisively to bring in the striker as the league continues to attract growing investment and higher-profile signings.
Further details on the transfer fee and Luvanga's contract terms are yet to be officially disclosed, but the move underlines the escalating financial stakes in the women's game, where transfer records continue to be broken as clubs compete for top talent on a global scale.
