TransferLiverpool FC Women complete signing of Aurélie Csillag
Liverpool FC Women have completed the signing of Aurélie Csillag from SC Freiburg, subject to international clearance.
The Switzerland international forward today put the finishing touches to her transfer at the AXA Melwood Training Centre.
Soon afterwards, Csillag, who turns 23 on January 24, told Liverpoolfc.com: "For me, the [Barclays Women's] Super League was always a dream.
"When I was a little child, I always wanted to play in the Super League. And then when I heard from Liverpool, it was a nice city, a nice club, a lot of tradition and history, I didn't have any doubts to join this winter.
"The training centre is amazing. I've never seen a training centre in a women's club like this. I was very, very surprised and very happy that I could see this and join this."
Csillag began her career with FC Blue Stars Zurich before moving to Grasshopper Club Zurich, where she broke into the first-team set-up in 2020.
A switch to FC Basel followed in February 2023, before Csillag joined Freiburg last summer.
She has won 12 senior international caps for Switzerland, scoring once, and arrives at Liverpool having made 14 appearances for Frauen-Bundesliga team Freiburg.
Csillag scored four times for Freiburg this season and netted her first international goal in a friendly against Wales last month.
"I'm looking forward to playing against the big clubs," she added. "For me, it's the best league in the world.
"It's a big chance for me to show what I can do on the pitch in this league."
