Liverpool Women have signed Slovenia international Sara Agrez from Frauen-Bundesliga side Cologne, adding experienced defensive strength ahead of the new FA WSL season. The centerback, who spent over seven years in Germany, joins as the Reds look to climb from 11th place in the final 2025 table, where they finished with 17 points from 22 games (4 wins, 5 draws, 13 losses).
Why did Agrez choose Liverpool Women?
Agrez cited Liverpool’s global reputation and the chance to test herself in one of the world’s best leagues as key factors. She told Liverpoolfc.com that talks with manager Gareth Taylor were decisive, calling the club “a big traditional club in England, one of the biggest in the world.” Her family, already Liverpool fans, were equally thrilled by the move.
What will she bring to the team?
The defender highlights her composure in build-up play, aerial ability, and physicality as her main assets. She also promised passion in every tackle and a commitment to making the fans proud. Liverpool Women conceded 34 goals last season, and Agrez’s defensive qualities could help address that issue.
What’s next for Liverpool Women?
With the new season yet to begin, Agrez is settling into life at Melwood and eager to meet the supporters. The team’s goal is clear: improve on last season’s 11th-place finish and close the 38-point gap to leaders Manchester City W. Agrez’s arrival signals ambition, and her experience in Germany’s top flight could prove vital in a competitive WSL campaign.
