Madrid CFF has sold Zambian hit woman Rachel Kundananji to the New Women’s Soccer League Franchise team, The San Francisco Bay Area.
The NWSL franchise will pay a world-record fee of $785k as an initial fee and will pay add-ons of $75k making it $860k in total which will break Chelsea’s record fee they paid for Colombian attacker Mayra Ramirez in a deal worth €500k in January.
The 23-year-old former Indeni Roses forward joined Madrid CFF from Eibar in 2022.
Rachel Kundananji is a Zambian attacker who has represented the Copper Queens 18 times since 2018 and has scored 10 goals for the national team.
She represented Zambia at the 2023 Women’s World Cup and the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics.
The prolific Kundananji scored 25 goals in her first season in Madrid CFF during the 2022-23 campaign.
She is expected to make her debut for Bay on 16th March in their first game in the 2024 season against Angel City.
