"A record 20.7m ($28.6m) was spent globally on transfers in the women's professional game in 2025 - an increase of 83.6% from 2024 - according to a report published by Fifa. There was an increase in the total number of cross-border transfers, with 2,440 completed in 2025, up 6.3% on the previous year. But the report does not take into account deals done between teams in the same league, therefore, the actual total spend would be much higher."
"The number of clubs involved in transfers with fees also reached a new high, with 135 clubs spending money and 155 clubs receiving fees from at least one outgoing player in 2025. England was responsible for the biggest outlay on transfer fees at 7.9m ($11m), with clubs bringing in a total of 1.5m ($2.1m) through sales. Grace Geyoro's move from Paris St-Germain to Women's Super League side London City Lionesses for a reported world record 1.4m ($1.9m) in September was the biggest single transaction."

England led spending with 7.9m ($11m) outlay and 1.5m ($2.1m) in sales; the USA spent 5.8m ($7.9m).
