""She's a player who not only brings a great deal of talent, but also complements the strengths of our existing roster. Her versatility allows her to operate in multiple attacking roles, giving our coaches more tactical options in different game situations. Her creativity and movement will enhance our ability to break down defenses, and we're confident she will be a valuable asset to the Club's success moving forward.""
""We wish Ludmila the best in this next chapter of her career. I am confident that the talented forwards we've recently acquired like Ivonne Chacón and Ryan Gareis, coupled with our rising talent in Jameese Joseph and Micayla Johnson, will form an extremely formidable front line. They will be bolstered by seasoned midfielders, including recently acquired Brianna Pinto who we believe will be a significant asset to our team.""
San Diego Wave signed Brazil international forward Ludmila from Chicago Stars FC for an initial $800,000 transfer fee, potentially increasing to $1 million if conditions are met. The fee ranks as the second-highest intraleague transfer in NWSL history, behind the $1.25 million paid for Jaedyn Shaw. Ludmila scored 10 goals in 24 appearances for Chicago, finishing fourth in the Golden Boot standings. Chicago finished last in the 2025 NWSL standings. Chicago's roster moves include additions such as Ivonne Chacón, Ryan Gareis, rising talents Jameese Joseph and Micayla Johnson, and midfielder Brianna Pinto, with Mallory Swanson expected to return later in the year.
