Overview
- Bayern and Caruso confirmed the move after media reports on Monday that she has signed a four-year contract with Real Madrid running to 30 June 2030.
- Multiple outlets reported the fee at more than €600,000 plus bonuses, which they described as a new transfer record for an Italian woman.
- Caruso becomes the first Italian player to sign for Real Madrid Femenino and is expected to join the squad immediately ahead of the club's early-season Champions League and league fixtures.
- The 26-year-old arrives off a year-and-a-half at Bayern that produced six trophies and follows a long spell at Juventus where she set the club appearance record and won multiple titles.
- Her switch matters for Italy too because Caruso is a regular international with 72 caps and 19 goals, and her move preserves continuity in the squad ahead of October World Cup qualifying playoffs while underlining growing club investment in the women's game.
