Chelsea sign 27 year old England midfielder Keira Walsh from Barcelona for $572,000

Chelsea have announced the signing of England midfielder Keira Walsh from Barcelona, with sources telling ESPN the deal is worth around â‚¬550,000 ($572,000).

The 27-year-old has signed a 4Â½-year deal with her new club.

Walsh was set to leave BarÃ§a at the end of the season on a free transfer if she did not sign a new deal, and the Spanish giants decided she should leave for a fee.

"It is unbelievable. I am very happy to be here and very excited to get started," Walsh said in a statement.

"You look at the history of the trophies Chelsea have won and i am an ambitious player and person, so for me, it is a good fit."

Walsh spent eight years at Manchester City where she won one WSL title and three FA Cups before joining Barcelona in 2022. She won eight trophies at the Catalan club, including two Champions Leagues and two Liga F titles.
