Chelsea captain Magdalena Eriksson will leave the club at the end of the season, it has been confirmed.
The 29-year-old Sweden international has made 183 appearances since joining the club from Swedish side Linkopings back in 2017.
She went on to win four Women’s Super League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and an FA Women’s Community Shield.
“It’s with a heavy heart and so many emotions I announce that my journey as a Blue will come to an end,” Eriksson said in an open letter to supporters.
“I see myself as extremely privileged to have played a part in this great club’s history.
“When I signed for the club the ambitions were clear, Emma (Hayes)’s openness with that really resonated with my own ambitions. I quickly realised it wasn’t just all talk either.
“Winning was at the heart of everything we did, and that competitiveness was contagious. Six seasons, four WSL titles, four FA cup trophies, two Continental Cup trophies, one community shield later, it’s safe to say that the winning culture is now part of the Chelsea DNA.”
An amazing journey, an emotional goodbye. 🥺
