Hey there! Swinging by to give you a heads-up about a major shakeup in the world of women's football. The Swiss goalkeeping sensation, Livia Peng, who's been a mainstay at Werder Bremen, is moving on to English heavyweights, FC Chelsea. The ink on the contract ain't even dried yet, but mark your calendars - the transfer's happening on July 1st, 2025.
Yep, you heard it right. Livia Peng, who's been with the Frauen Bundesliga side since 2023, will don the blue of Chelsea FC for the next four years. She's put pen to paper on a four-year deal, keeping her committed to the London outfit until the summer of 2029.
Birte Brüggemann, the head of women's and girls' football at Werder, shared some bittersweet feelings about the transfer: "It's a tough pill to swallow seeing Livia leave. Her departure's a huge personal and sporting loss for us, but hey, we were hoping for something big like this ever since we welcomed her two years back."
Peng's tenure at Werder Bremen saw her make a total of 45 appearances in competitive games, including a run to the DFB-Pokal final in the recently concluded season. Alas, it wasn't meant to be, as FC Bayern edged them 4:2 in the final.
Fancy some trivia? Livia Peng didn't start off her career with Werder. Before joining forces with the green-and-whites, she spent time with FC Zurich Women in Switzerland and BK Hacken in Sweden, with a brief stint at Levante in Spain. And here's a bonus fact: Livia's been capped seven times for the Swiss national team.
This move is the realization of a childhood dream for Livia - play for the mighty Chelsea FC. So, buckle up, football fans! The stage is set for some exciting times ahead. Stay tuned for more updates!
