Hardly had Arsenal signed Olivia Smith for £1 million when another record-breaking transfer in women’s football now seems to be on the horizon. This time it’s overseas—specifically Orlando Pride, who have made an offer to Tigres from the Mexican league.
- Lizbeth Ovalle reportedly in advanced talks to join Orlando Pride from Mexico’s Tigres UANL, potentially breaking the women's football transfer record.
- Expected record-breaking fee of approximately $1.5 million, surpassing Arsenal’s recent signing of Olivia Smith (£1 million / ~$1.34 million), who had previously held the record.
- If finalized, Ovalle would become the first Mexican player—male or female—to be involved in a world-record transfer.
- Sources report the deal could reach up to $2 million, though U.S.-based outlets confirm a more conservative ceiling of $1.5 million.
