Some England stars have changed clubs, some are trying to earn a recall from Sarina Wiegman's squad and others are out to force their way into her XI
Everton Women have pulled off one of the boldest moves of the summer, breaking their transfer record to prise Ruby Mace away from Leicester City. While the club haven't disclosed the exact figure, reports speculate that the deal dwarfs the £100,000 bid Everton saw turned down earlier in the window. The Toffees were determined to get their player, and under ambitious new ownership, they’ve finally landed their marquee signing.
Everton have become the latest Premier League club to sell their women’s team to a sister company in a move designed to boost transfer funds and stay compliant with Profitability and Sustainability Rules. The deal, reportedly worth around £60 million, mirrors recent strategies undertaken by Chelsea and Aston Villa to avoid breaching the league’s PSR guidelines.
Chelsea will begin their Women's Super League title defence at home to Manchester City in a blockbuster start to the 2025-26 season.
