Done Deals: Chelsea announce double transfer of world-class players

Bayern Munich have signed Chelsea skipper Magdalena Eriksson and midfielder Pernille Harder on three-year contracts, the Frauen-Bundesliga champions said on Thursday.

Swedish defender Eriksson spent six successful years with Women’s Super League champions (WSL) Chelsea, winning five league titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, and the Women’s Community Shield.

Harder, 30, joined Chelsea from VfL Wolfsburg in 2020 for a fee in excess of 250 000 pounds $315 525)- then a world record transfer fee for a woman footballer.

“Pernille and Magdalena are two top players with a lot of experience,” Bayern head coach Alexander Straus said in a statement.
