Girma was reportedly garnering interest from clubs across Europe, including serial winners Lyon.

The California native was labeled as "the best defender I’ve ever seen" by USWNT boss Emma Hayes during the 2024 Olympics.

While the deal is not yet completed, reports suggest it will be finalized in the coming days pending the approval of the paperwork.
