We reckon you must have come across those Naomi Girma rumors by now. Well, as surprising as it sounds, they’re apparently true. After all, those exceptional defensive blocks and crucial interceptions had to catch someone’s attention. And what better club to notice them than Chelsea, who, rightfully so, are the ones to splurge a million dollars on the San Diego Wave superstar? But little does Girma know, she’s about to get a homely feeling at her new club, leaving USWNT fans ecstatic.
To break the ice for you without any delay, even if the 24-year-old defender moves to London, she won’t be getting homesick. That’s because Noami will have the company of her fellow national teammates, Mal Fishel and Catarina Macario. The forward and midfielder have been part of the Blues for almost a couple of years now, with both having joined in 2023.
So this will surely make things easier for Girma to get familiar with her surroundings as Fishel and Macario will be playing a crucial role for sure. Then again, one shall at least wait for the official confirmation of the deal before start imagining these three American superstars sharing the pitch. Speaking of which, the WSL side has reportedly emerged victorious in the battle to secure the highly-rated center-back, outpacing other notable clubs like Arsenal and Lyon both financially and in terms of persuasion.

According to sources, Girma’s transfer from San Diego to London is poised to set a new record in women’s soccer, surpassing the $862,000 fee for Racheal Kundananji’s move from Madrid CFF to Bay FC in the NWSL. While the paperwork for this groundbreaking deal is still under negotiation, it’s only a matter of time before the 24-year-old dons the iconic blue jersey.
In the meantime, fans do have the liberty to make a big deal about it, evident from the frenzy it has created on the internet, especially among ardent American fans!
USWNT fans go berserk over Naomi Girma and her potential reunion at Chelsea
Renowned media house B/R Football already created a stellar graphic of Naomi Girma, Mia Fishel, and Catarina Macario, only to share it on X. They also added a caption saying, “There will be a USWNT feel at Stamford Bridge.” Of course, this had to leave ardent fans buzzing and expressing their views on the same.
One doesn’t need to remember the kind of talent that Chelsea ladies possess. And on top of that, adding a player of Naomi Girma’s caliber makes us wonder how things would turn out to be. Well, this fan already seems to have made its prediction:
“They will cook believe me.”
While Macario dons the midfield, Mia does her job quite brilliantly on the attacking front. Perhaps the only thing required for them was a spice in the defense and what better way to do so by bringing in someone like Girma?
“What are they cooking? Macario and Mia Fishel in this Chelsea team is a cheat code.”
If you want to see a trailer of how these three will look on the pitch while playing for Chelsea, just try seeing what they deliver in the USWNT matches. So expect more than that!
“Just imagine the kind of energy they’ll bring to the field.”

Up until the end of the 2023 season, Emma Hayes was at Chelsea. But just imagine if the very player she termed “The best defender in the world” had ended up playing under the English tactician! Boy oh boy, that would have been a treat to the eyes. Unfortunately, this remains a dream as Hayes coaches them at USWNT. But who knows? In order to see these three, the 48-year-old may often fly back to London:
“Guess Emma will have a bigger excuse to come to Kingsmeadow to watch some Chelsea matches.”
A trio that not only would Hayes or ardent fans fancy seeing but even the players themselves. Naomi Girma, Mia Fishel, and Catarina Macario would surely love the company of each other, especially in a foreign land. So if this transfer gets completed, expect this USA trio to hang out often with each other in London!
