Chelsea, Manchester United and Melvine Malard
Tuesday
Chelsea have agreed a deal worth about £850,000 to sign Manchester United forward Melvine Malard. The France international is set for a medical before completing the move, which would reunite her with former Lyon boss Sonia Bompastor.
United offered Malard a new contract but accepted a fee after she made clear she wanted to leave. The move strengthens Chelsea’s attack after Sam Kerr’s Gotham switch and gives United funds to reinvest this summer.
