Ivanovic sold to Houston Dash in record deal
Miljana Ivanovic is leaving. Malmö FF have sold the striker to NWSL club Houston Dash for a fee that sets a new women's team transfer record (1) (2).
Ivanovic, fresh off scoring the winner at Djurgården, had a farewell message for the fans on the club's website: "I hope MFF will go all the way and win the league even though we could have had a better start to the season. But the wins will come. I also want to wish the team good luck in Europe. I am glad to have been part of Malmö FF. This club will always be in my heart" (2).
What the record means
The club have not disclosed the exact figure, but both Aftonbladet and FotbollDirekt confirm it is the highest fee Malmö FF's women's team have ever received (1) (2). It is a milestone moment for a side that now faces a Champions League qualifier against Vålerenga and a league campaign sitting ninth after ten rounds, not where anyone expected, but with time to climb.
