Sam Kerr Completes Permanent Move to Liverpool FC Women from Bayern Munich
Liverpool, July 18 (TheTrendingPeople.com): Scotland international Sam Kerr has officially signed a permanent deal with Liverpool FC Women, making a full-time return to Merseyside after a successful loan spell during the 2024–25 season from Bayern Munich.
The 26-year-old midfielder, who joined Liverpool on loan in January, made an immediate impact with 14 consecutive starts and a goal to her name. Her consistent performances and leadership in midfield have now earned her a permanent contract, finalized after she passed a medical at AXA Melwood Training Centre.
Kerr Delighted to Call Liverpool Home
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com following the signing, Kerr expressed her joy over the move:
“I’m so excited to get started. I’ve enjoyed my spell here, so I just wanted to make it a little bit longer now. I’m really happy that we could get it over the line and that I’m here for the long term.”
She added that her desire to stay was clear from early on in her loan stint:
“I think I knew after a couple of months that I was really loving it. When Liverpool came in, there wasn’t even a second thought. I want to do this and I want to stay at Liverpool.”
A Career Marked by Success Across Europe
Kerr originally joined Bayern Munich in 2023 and played a role in helping the club lift the Frauen Bundesliga title in her debut season. Prior to her stint in Germany, she had a decorated career in Scotland.
She won the Scottish Women’s Premier League (SWPL) with Rangers in 2022 and previously clinched four consecutive league titles with Glasgow City between 2016 and 2019. Her consistent performances earned her the Scotland Women’s Player of the Year award in 2022 and a place in the PFA Scotland Team of the Year for both the 2021–22 and 2022–23 seasons.
Looking Ahead to WSL Challenge
With her permanent transfer to Liverpool FC Women, Kerr now sets her sights on making a mark in the FA Women’s Super League (WSL) – widely regarded as the most competitive women’s football league globally.
“I think the WSL is probably the best league in the world right now,” Kerr noted. “In every game, you have to be on it – it’s something that every player dreams of playing in.”
Liverpool manager Matt Beard and the club's leadership have been vocal about building a squad capable of competing for top honours in the WSL, and Kerr’s addition is seen as a major boost to the club’s ambitions.
