Chelsea Signs Alyssa Thompson in Record-Breaking Women’s Football Transfer

written by Alex Carter - Sports Editor

Chelsea Close to record-breaking Deal for Alyssa Thompson

Chelsea ⁣Football Club has reached a verbal agreement with Angel City FC to sign forward ‌alyssa Thompson, a deal that, if finalized, would be⁤ the second-most⁢ expensive transfer in women’s football history. The Athletic ⁤reported the agreement on Thursday, citing anonymous sources, with a ​reported ​transfer ⁢value of $1.3 million.

Both clubs are working to formalize a written agreement⁤ before ⁤the 3 pm Pacific Time deadline for signings in the Women’s Super League. The potential fee ⁣would equal the amount arsenal paid Liverpool for Olivia Smith in July, falling just short of the current record of $1.5 million paid by Tigres UANL (Mexico) to Orlando pride for Lizbeth⁣ Ovalle last month.

Negotiations between Chelsea, the most accomplished women’s football team, and Angel City,⁢ the most valuable⁤ women’s team in the United States, have been ongoing. Thompson,who has already agreed to a five-year contract with Chelsea,initially prepared to travel to London on Monday and Tuesday to​ complete the transfer but postponed‍ her trip. She ultimately flew to London on Wednesday, arriving Thursday⁢ for a physical examination.

Shoudl the⁤ transfer be completed,thompson would‌ be the third Angel City player to join a WSL club in under​ a week,following midfielders Alanna Kennedy and Katie Zelem who signed with London City Lionesses on August 27th.

Thompson was drafted first overall by Angel City in January 2023, directly after graduating from Harvard Westlake School as the youngest player selected in​ the ⁢NWSL draft. She ​subsequently became the second-youngest ⁣player ‌to appear in a World Cup match for the United States that same year.

She initially signed a three-year contract with Angel City, estimated at $1 ⁤million, following⁢ the draft and extended that agreement with a further three-year contract in January.Thompson ⁣is Angel City’s ​all-time ⁣leading scorer with 21 goals across all⁤ competitions and ⁣ranks sixth in club appearances with‍ 74 games played. ​This season, she has scored six goals in 16 games, second ⁤only⁣ to⁤ riley Tiernan’s eight goals. She also has three goals and three assists in 22 appearances for the ​U.S. Women’s ⁣National⁤ Team.

The move would mean Thompson ⁣leaving Angel City and playing ‍separately from her sister, Gisele Thompson, a 19-year-old defender who joined Angel City in december 2023.

Angel City (6-7-5) currently holds the⁢ eighth and final playoff position in the league with eight games remaining. Losing Thompson ⁤would be a notable setback for the club, already navigating absences due to maternity leave ‌(Claire Emslie), medical leave (Savy King), and a temporary leave of absence from Sydney Leroux to address ​a mental health concern. Angel City has only ⁣reached the playoffs once in its four seasons in the‌ NWSL.

Title: Rodri: Manchester City Loss Despite Starter Return

Rodri‘s Return Not Enough as Manchester City Fall to Brighton

Brighton, England – Manchester City suffered their second defeat of the young Premier League season, falling‌ 2-1 to ​a resilient brighton & Hove Albion side on Sunday. The match marked Rodri’s first start of the season following a frustrating injury spell, but the Spanish midfielder ⁢was quick to dismiss any notion that his return alone⁢ could instantly solve City’s early-season woes.

Erling Haaland opened the scoring for⁤ the reigning champions,but a ⁢spirited comeback⁣ fueled by‌ goals from James Milner and Brajan Gruda secured a deserved victory for Brighton. Despite dominating possession,pep Guardiola’s side struggled to contain Brighton’s​ risky transitions,with the ​hosts creating a significantly higher number of scoring opportunities (seven to City’s three).

The loss follows a disappointing defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last week, raising questions about City’s⁢ form in the absence of a fully fit Rodri. The midfielder missed a important portion of last season due to an ⁢ACL injury ⁤and suffered a further setback during the ​Club World Cup, delaying⁤ his return to the starting lineup.

“I’m not Messi,” Rodri told​ Sky Sports after ‌the match.⁣ “I can’t come back ⁤and suddenly make the‌ team win every game. It requires a collective⁢ effort. When we where winning before, it was ​becuase of everyone. I need my teammates, and we all need to look at ourselves. This is a team sport.”

Rodri ⁤emphasized the need for collective advancement following the international break. While acknowledging ⁣the concerns, he remained unfazed by external criticism.

“To be honest,I don’t care what people say. They can think what they want.⁤ We just need to work hard and focus on ourselves,and then we can talk again at the end of the season.”

Last season, Rodri’s absence was widely considered a key factor in Manchester City’s inability to ‍challenge for the title, ultimately finishing third in the Premier League. His return is​ undoubtedly a boost, but the
