Five Major Transfers in Women’s Football Summer 2025

The Women’s Super League (WSL) transfer window, which opened in mid-June 2025 — has already produced several interesting deals for the upcoming season.

Marie-Antoinette Katoto marks one of the biggest transfers this season with her move from Paris Saint-Germain to OL Lyonnes. The 25-year-old striker boasts an impressive record — 156 goal contributions in 136 league appearances for PSG.

Jule Brand joins Lyon after leaving Wolfsburg. The 21-year-old winger is regarded as one of Europe’s finest young talents — averaging a goal contribution every two matches across five seasons in Germany.

Chelsea has secured young prospect Mara Alber from Hoffenheim. This versatile player recorded six goals and five assists in 2023/24 — despite a lengthy absence due to an ankle injury.

• Vanessa Gilles chose to join Bayern Munich from Lyon
• Moeka Minami surprised with her €100,000 move from Roma to Brighton

Both defenders are expected to strengthen their new teams’ backlines — with Gilles showing solid performances for Lyon last season and Minami being Roma’s defensive mainstay for the past three seasons.
