Liverpool have made a significant signing in midfielder Denise O'Sullivan, who has joined the club from North Carolina Courage on a permanent deal. The 31-year-old Ireland international brings a wealth of experience to the Reds, having made over 128 appearances for her country since making her debut in 2011.
O'Sullivan's decision to join Liverpool comes after interest from several clubs, and it is believed that the club's long-term project and facilities at Melwood were a major factor in her choice. The midfielder has played over 150 games for North Carolina Courage across nine years, including as captain of the team, but she will now be looking to contribute to Liverpool's success.
"I'm really proud," O'Sullivan said after joining the club. "It means a lot. It's a very proud moment for myself and also for my family, who are now only a 40-minute flight away." She added that she is excited to join a massive club like Liverpool and give it her all on the pitch.
Liverpool have paid a significant fee to sign O'Sullivan, with reports suggesting that the transfer cost was in excess of £300,000 - more than double their previous record signing for Olivia Smith last year. The move marks an important addition to Jürgen Klopp's squad as they look to compete in European competitions this season.
The transfer also brings an end to O'Sullivan's time at North Carolina Courage, who have been a dominant force in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) over the past few years. With her experience and skillset, she will undoubtedly be a key player for Liverpool going forward.

Denise O'Sullivan is gonna be such an awesome addition to Liverpool FC! 
I mean, 128 caps with Ireland is huge, and I'm sure she's gonna bring that Midfield magic to Melwood 
. I love how excited she is about the new chapter in her life - her family will finally get to see more of her 
! £300k+? That's a big statement from Liverpool 
. Can't wait to see Denise in action and bring home some silverware 
, it sounds like she's a game changer, been following North Carolina Courage for ages & O'Sullivan seems like a top pro 
, the £300k price tag is steep but I guess you get what you pay for 
i mean id love to visit family anytime but its not like we can just take a short flight to see them whenever 
anyway back to soccer i think liverpool got a good player in o'sullivan what position does she play btw midfield sounds interesting 
they're like, totally crushing it in the women's game now 
128 caps for Ireland is insane, this girl's got some serious talent 
and now she's gonna bring it to Melwood 
can't wait to see her link up with the squad and make some magic happen 
️
gotta love Denise O'Sullivan comin' in with that Irish flair & some serious game face! 
I'm curious how she'll fit into Jürgen Klopp's squad, but if anyone can make it work, it's her 
. This signing feels like a statement from Liverpool to say they're not just about youth & talent, but also experience & know-how 
She's literally killing it on the pitch with her skills and experience - 128 caps for Ireland is no joke! 
As a neutral fan, I think this signing is gonna take our ladies' team to the next level 
. The squad's getting more talented by the minute and I'm loving every minute of it 
to Anfield! 
and finally get the chance to lift some trophies with Jürgen Klopp's squad 
It's also super cool to see a woman breaking barriers in a male-dominated sport – a huge step forward for equality in football 
.
O'Sullivan's got game, and I'm loving this transfer move 
North Carolina Courage are gonna miss her, but it's time for new adventures 
️
but we can't wait to see her in action at Anfield!
