Swedish Star Fridolina Rolfö Joins Manchester United in Blockbuster Move
15 Aug
Summary
- Fridolina Rolfö leaves Barcelona after 4 years
- Rolfö signs contract with Manchester United until 2027
- Rolfö has 33 international goals for Sweden
In a major transfer move, Swedish international Fridolina Rolfö has joined Manchester United from Barcelona. The 31-year-old forward, who has been with Barcelona for the past 4 years, has signed a contract with United that will keep her at the club until June 2027.
Rolfö, primarily used as a left-winger, has been a key player for the Swedish national team, earning 100 caps and scoring 33 goals. She was part of the Swedish squad that competed at the European Championship last month. Prior to her stint at Barcelona, Rolfö played for Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich, winning two Champions League titles with the Spanish club.
United, who finished third in the Women's Super League last season, will be hoping that Rolfö's experience and goal-scoring ability can help them establish themselves as a force in the Champions League. "The WSL is probably the strongest league in the world right now," Rolfö said, "so that was a big part of the appeal of coming here, as well as the chance to help the team establish itself in the Champions League."
