Real Madrid Femenino is proud to announce the signing of Melanie Leupolz from Chelsea Women. The 30-year-old midfielder will be joining the Spanish capital after a successful stint with the Women’s Super League champions. Since joining Chelsea from Bayern Munich in 2020, Leupolz has helped the team secure four WSL titles, three Women’s FA Cups, and one League Cup trophy under the guidance of former manager Emma Hayes.
Throughout her career, Leupolz has also achieved significant success on the international stage, winning the 2013 European Championship and the 2016 Olympics with Germany before retiring from international duty. Her departure for Liga F now sees her joining Real Madrid alongside other notable players like Lucy Bronze and Júlia Bartel, who are rumored to be on their way to Chelsea.
Real Madrid Femenino is hoping to challenge the dominance of their rivals in the women’s game in Spain, and Leupolz is expected to play a key role in Albert Toril’s squad. With her experience and winning mentality, she will undoubtedly be an important asset as Madrid looks to make their mark in the competitive world of women’s football.
