Mayra Ramírez made history this Friday after becoming the most expensive signing in women’s football after confirming her move to Chelsea, one of the most important teams in the Women’s Premier League.
The Colombian arrived from Levante where she had an excellent performance and that is why the ‘Blues’ made the effort to pay around 500,000 euros for the Colombian attacker.
Likewise, his high level in the Colombian National Team has made him stand out among the big clubs in Europe, such as Chelsea.
Well, once her signing was completed, the one born in Sibaté landed in England and said her first statements with the Blue jacket.
“It’s too exciting, I can’t imagine it, I’ve never felt this and I’m very happy to be here. We must make the most of this season,” said Mayra in her presentation with Chelsea.
She added: “I feel very honored to be part of Chelsea. Being part of such a big club is a dream come true and I’ve had it since I was a little girl.”
For his part, he assured that he will give priority to achieving the collective objectives with the club: “It is always about the collective. I want to help the team win all the competitions we are in this season. It is about achieving the club’s objectives.” .
Finally, he praised the Women’s Premier and classified it as one of the best leagues in the world: “It is one of the best leagues in the world. Of course, Spain is also a good league and Barcelona plays at the highest level. But I think that “The general level of the Women’s Super League is now the best.”
It is worth noting that Mayra replaces the Australian Sam Kerr, who is the club’s reference and who suffered a serious injury that will mean she will be out for several months.
