Who could have thought that transfer rumors would be taking such an unexpected turn someday? Well, that’s one of the things about the beautiful game—expect the unexpected. Interestingly, the latest from the rumor mill is for Trinity Rodman, whose nearing contract expiration with Washington Spirit has potentially linked her to the WSL—a place where one of her USWNT teammates is also rumored to move in a million-dollar deal!

We know hearing this possibility would have been the last thing that you would have thought to hear but look where we are now. This alleged news comes from the mouth of the USWNT insider Tom Bogert. As stated by the renowned journalist on X, since Trinity Rodman is in the final year of her contract with the Washington Spirit, many revered clubs are monitoring her situation.

Among the interested parties highlighted by Bogert are apparently the WSL giants, Chelsea and Arsenal. There’s no surprise as to why either of the English sides are keen to potentially lure the daughter of Dennis Rodman from the NWSL side as they look to bolster their attacking ranks. In fact, who knows? These two sides may end up facing competition from other clubs across their same league or other neighboring European clubs.

It’s interesting how time has passed for Rodman at Washington Spirit. Then-youngest player to be drafted in NWSL at 18, helping her side win the 2021 Championship by assisting a game-winning goal, becoming a Rookie of the Year the following year, and now becoming one of the most crucial chess pieces for her side—one cannot stress how dear the USWNT star is to the Spirits. But all that may be about to be changed considering the rumors surrounding her exit.

Notably, this isn’t the first time she has been rumored to join the WSL. In fact, it was just around the beginning of this month, that she shared a picture of herself on TikTok and wrote a caption saying, “When ur offseason just started and it’s pretty much almost over at the same time.” This somehow felt like a cryptic message suggesting that she might be moving to Europe.

Simultaneously, the reactions from fans further led to speculation that Arsenal is looking to sign a winger from NWSL, which directly pointed fingers toward Trinity. Fast forward to today, her contract expiring has linked her with a potential move. While it may upset a majority of the Spirit and the NWSL fans, this potential rumor must be like music to the ears of ardent WSL supporters, who are apparently stealing another big name from America!

Trinity Rodman may end up in a reunion of a lifetime if she chooses WSL!

Naomi Girma is one of the names that has surfaced in the transfer market lately. The USWNT defender has been linked with a move to Chelsea for a record $1 million deal. Of course, the deal is still in the negotiation stages, with Lyon also mentioned pursuing the “best defender in the world according to Emma Hayes.” But it’s more likely that Girma may end up joining Chelsea.

If similar tends to be the case for Trinity Rodman, we will see her unite with not just one USWNT teammate but three; alongside Girma, the 22-year-old forward will find herself surrounded by the company of Mal Fishel and Catarina Macario, who have been part of the Blues since 2023. Whereas, a move to Arsenal would still see her enjoy a reunion with US defender Emily Fox, who signed for the Gunners last year.

Then again, Arsenal and Chelsea fans shouldn’t get excited this early. Who knows? The Spirits may end up giving a lucrative contract extension to Rodman. But if the star winger wishes for a new challenge, then she certainly knows where to call!
