Chelsea Women have made a bid for striker Felicia Schroder from BK Hacken that would represent a world-record fee in women's football. This season's outgoing Women's Super League (WSL) champions, who finished third in England's top flight this season, have made a bid in the region of €1.4m (£1.2m; $1.6m) to sign the 19-year-old forward. Schroder was part of the Hacken team that won the inaugural UEFA Women's Europa Cup this season, scoring four goals in the two-legged final against domestic rival Hammarby including a hat-trick in the second-leg. Her exploits were the latest example of her natural talent in front of goal. Schroder finished the 2025 campaign for Hacken with 45 goals and 12 assists in 42 matches across all competitions, including eight in the triumphant Europa Cup campaign and 30 in the Damallsvenskan as Hacken won the league. Schroder has attracted interest from several clubs across Europe, according to multiple sources who wished to remain anonymous to protect relationships. Enquiries have also been made by at least two NWSL clubs, according to two sources familiar with the situation. However, sources say a move to the U.S. is unlikely because the player's preference is to remain closer to home. BK Hacken president Anders Billstrom – speaking at UEFA's Business Case for Women's Football in Oslo, Norway, ahead of the UWCL Final on Saturday – said Schroder had options to leave Hacken in January but club and player agreed she should stay put in order to finish the 2025 season and win the inaugural Europa Cup. According to one club source who wished to remain anonymous to protect relationships, Schroder's preference has been to remain at Hacken, who she joined in 2023, in order to continue her long-term development and get regular senior minutes, particularly as Hacken's Europa Cup triumph earned them automatic qualification to next season's Champions League group stage. However, the situation remains fluid heading into the summer transfer window. The Chelsea bid, which arrived earlier this month, would represent a world-record transfer fee in the women's game. The current official record transfer fee was set in August 2025 when Orlando Pride signed Lizbeth Ovalle from Mexican side Tigres UANL for $1.5m (£1.1m). That eclipsed the £1m ($1.3m) that last year's Champions League winners Arsenal paid Liverpool to sign Canada forward Olivia Smith. Prior to that, the record had been broken in January 2025 when USWNT defender Naomi Girma joined Chelsea in a $1.1m (£850k) deal from the San Diego Wave. London City Lionesses were reported to have broken Ovalle's record in September 2025 to sign France midfielder Grace Geyoro from Paris Saint-Germain for €1.65m ($1.93m; £1.43m). However, the London club have denied the fee broke Ovalle's existing record. Chelsea need to increase their attacking options following an uncharacteristically underwhelming season in front of goal. Chelsea, who finished third in the WSL and failed to win the league title for the first time in seven years, scored just 44 goals, their lowest since 2017-18. Sonia Bampastor's side's 49-point tally was their worst over a full, 12-team WSL campaign. Australia striker Sam Kerr announced she will leave the club upon the expiry of her contract in the summer, while USWNT forward Catarina Macario departed the club in January for San Diego.
