Midfielder Melanie Leupolz has departed from Women's Super League club Chelsea and officially joined Real Madrid.

Melanie Leupolz, 30, bids farewell to Chelsea after an impactful four-year tenure with the 2023-24 WSL champions.

During her time at Chelsea, Leupolz played a pivotal role, making 11 league appearances and nine starts in the previous season, contributing significantly to their league and FA Cup triumphs.

Joining Chelsea from Bayern Munich in March 2020, Leupolz swiftly made her mark by reaching the Champions League final in her debut season and securing three trophies before temporarily leaving for maternity leave.

Her move to Real Madrid marks a new chapter in her career, highlighting her journey of success and resilience both on and off the field.
