Chelsea Secure Melvine Malard from Manchester United for £850,000
Chelsea have signed French forward Melvine Malard from Manchester United for approximately £850,000, reuniting her with manager Sonia Bompastor. Malard, who joins after a successful spell at United that included a Women’s FA Cup win, expressed excitement about working with Bompastor again and her ambition to win trophies with Chelsea.
The transfer marks a club-record sale for Manchester United’s women’s team and significantly strengthens Chelsea’s attacking lineup following the departure of Sam Kerr.
