WSL Overview

It's here. The 2026 summer transfer window has arrived and it promises to be an extremely eventful one in the women's game, with several stars on the move. There are also plenty of deals that have been rumoured and reported for some time, with only the official announcements seemingly left to be done, while there will be some shocks along the way, too, as always.

Real Madrid have officially completed the signing of Swedish teenage sensation Felicia Schroder from BK Hacken for a world-record fee in women's football. The 19-year-old striker has signed a four-year contract with the Spanish giants until 2030, a move that leaves Chelsea frustrated after their earlier record-breaking bid was ultimately unsuccessful in securing her signature.

England international Khiara Keating has reportedly turned down a new contract at Manchester City, as her current deal enters its final year. The 21-year-old spent last season as second-choice goalkeeper, behind Japan's Ayaka Yamashita, and could now leave the reigning Women's Super League champions, with interest from elsewhere in the division.

Barcelona icon Alexia Putellas is set to choose her next club this week, after departing Catalunya at the end of last season. London City Lionesses remain the favourites to sign the two-time Ballon d'Or winner but interest is growing in the NWSL, with two teams in the United States pushing hard to secure her signature, according to a report.
