Chelsea Women sign Macario from Lyon

0

Chelsea Women have signed USA forward Catarina Macario from Lyon Women on a three-year deal.

The 23-year-old will officially join the club on July 1, having spent the past two seasons in the Division 1 Feminine in France.

Macario became the first American to score in a Women's Champions League final with her goal against Barcelona in the 2022 final helping Lyon win another European title. She was also crucial in helping the side to the league title in the same season, scoring 23 goals in 33 games.

However, she spent the 2022/23 campaign recovering from an ACL injury, which will also see her miss the Women's World Cup this summer.

It comes after the departure of Pernille Harder this summer, who has joined Bayern Munich, along with Magda Eriksson.

Macario told the club's official website after her move: "I can't wait to get started here. I'm really happy to sign for Chelsea and I hope to represent the jersey well over the next few years.

"I can play either as a No 10 or a more traditional No 9 and I'm looking forward to linking up with some many good forward players such as Sam [Kerr], Lauren James and Guro [Reiten]. It will be good to play with Kadeisha [Buchanan] again also
