I do know that, and really should have checked the entire roster. But considering that we are still relatively early in Women's professional football (widespread), I was suspicious of any non-UK player. It is still a good sign, both on ability and on recruiting.

Nikita Parris: Arsenal agree deal to sign Lyon and England striker | Football News | Sky Sports😊 https://t.co/ta9GXsbN7O— Willy Pasche (@willy_pasche) June 16, 2021 Looks like Miedema will play in Lyon from 2022/23 season. Unless Aulas is willing to pay around 400-500k $ as she has 12 months on her contract with Arsenal.
Barcelona have received two huge offers from Lyon and Chelsea for Aitana Bonmatí.The midfielder has a release clause of €3m, but Lyon have offered to triple her salary and pay a fee of €500k, making her the most expensive women’s football player in the world.

USWNT midfielder Lindsey Horan is set to join Lyon next season. (Source: @Le_Progres) pic.twitter.com/FC9OqxGQKx— Women’s Transfer News (@womenstransfer) June 16, 2021 Any truth to this? I thought it be Miedema.
Well, she was voted the MVP of the Champions' League's final and, although there were some other names in Barça who would have equally deserved that award, there is no doubt that her performance in that game was superb and that it's at least since U-20 WWC 2018 that she delivers at international level. Well, Horan, at 27, is by now an established international, but Aitana, at 23, is in her prime. The investment in her probably includes the number of years she's supposed to keep playing at her best form.
Well she is shaped to become best CM in Europe. Aulas already has Egurrola (DM) so he wants Bonmati. (Kumagai and Maro replacements) Bonmati is an outstanding perspective player but there's no way she will leave Barcelona (she herself isn't intrested in leaving). Imo it's all a publicity stunt that aims to ascribe high value for Bonmati for the future. Barcelona wants 3m - Aulas would pay 0,5m. Put Horan at no. 6 against Spain and then we will talk

I would really love to see that too. In a real do-or-die match like a World Cup elimination game. Definitely Bonmati has more runway in front of her, although I've always seen players in their prime around 27. Both on the men's and women's side. There are always edge cases of young phenoms and late bloomers, but around 27 you have developed and possess mature mental and physical capacities. After that they can start to depreciate, some people quickly and others like Formiga not so quickly.
Perhaps, but it seems a little odd to me, as Horan and Dunn both signed three-year contracts with the Thorns earlier this year, covering the 2021-23 seasons. Or, perhaps there will be a loan of some sort.
So happy for her. Not the Man City part (as I'm a Tottenham person), but that she is going to teams at the highest level.
List of most valuable players from the leagues in: England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, USA (according to soccerdonna). Please note that the value of a player is based on both current skill and future potential. Typically an old player (>30) will have a low market value.

It is interesting to see when multimillion transfers will become commonplace.
Soccerdonna isn't very reliable source - lots of ignorance, wishful thinking and fanboyism out there. It's still a popularity contest but with ascribed monetary values instead of ranks. Good sources are FIFA official transfer page or licensed agencies representing players (ie. LFA or CSE, etc..).

There's a group of equally fast players in women's football. Top speed is important... but not as much important as the ability to make number of high speed runs. Basically what's better, having a player with top speed 33-35 km/h who can average on 5 runs per game... or player with top speed 30-33 km/h who can make 15 runs per game? It's from UWCL 2020 Final Eight tourney. For me there's only one winner here. Pajor has one of the best engines in woso. No wonder everybody wants her... but she isn't interested in leaving Wolfsburg. It's a shame really because imo she is wasting her talent out there... but hey if she's happy, who am I to say otherwise.

I agree that the ratings as of now are not accurate. The main issue is that soccerdonna appears to just have looked at the current season, and historical developments have not been taken into account. Over the past few years, apart from the current year, Parris has not played spectacularly, and is probably closer to a 150.000€ value. Also, Ewa Pajor is rated at 125.000€ due to little playing time (injury) this year, but she could easily be 300.000€. I think that the system will be a lot more balanced once this is done for multiple years. Transfermarkt is a reputable source for market values in men's football. It should always be noted that a market value is never a guarantee for the actual sum to be paid. For that, different models have been proposed.
Agreed there are many parameters like contract length, player's skills etc. And it is hard to predict anyway. I mean Everton reportedly paid more than 100 000 Euros for Valerie Gauvin last Summer, who is an above average player really, but nothing special.
Transfermarkt relies on news from tens of thousands proffessional news outlets and sources gathered around the globe that cover men's football daily. Women's football in comparision is currently at it's infancy in this field. For this reason Soccerdonna's market values look no better than a fantasy leauge with it's often guessing game. It's not the only reason though - like I said previously - fanboism/girlism and ignorance play their part on this list. Mulitiple years you say ... true but I don't think it will change in next 5 years or so. Woso's developement is decades behind BroSo and it needs those decades to level up. Gauvin and Parris I see little difference (in value) between both.
