Trinity Rodman becomes highest-paid player in women's football | OneFootball

The star of the U.S. National Team, Trinity Rodman, has renewed her contract with the Washington Spirit and has become the highest-paid female soccer player in history. Daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman, the athlete’s contract renewal was a historic moment for women’s soccer.

After a long period of speculation, Rodman will stay in Washington until 2028, prompting the NSL (the U.S. women’s soccer league) to create a new rule. Now, teams can spend more than the salary cap by 1 million dollars (around R$ 5.2 million) to sign or retain key players, thus preventing transfers to Europe and increasing the league’s value.

According to information from the American press, Rodman is expected to earn about US$ 2 million per season, approximately R$ 10.5 million.

Relationship with Dennis Rodman

Dennis Rodman won five NBA titles (with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls) and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011. Remembered for his strong personality and controversial behavior both on and off the court, the former basketball player does not have a good relationship with his daughter. Trinity grew up with mixed feelings toward her father, having a relationship marked by distance and often distancing herself from Rodman’s fame.

Career numbers and titles

At just 23 years old, the forward is frequently called up to the United States national team, four-time champions of the World Cup. In addition to the Olympic gold in 2024, Trinity won the American National Cup last season and the American National League in 2021 with the Washington Spirit.
