Spanish midfielder Alexia Putellas is set to leave Barcelona after 14 years with the club. The two-time Ballon d'Or winner has been strongly linked with a move to London City Lionesses, a team in the Women's Super League. According to reports, Putellas is undergoing a medical with the Lionesses and is set to sign a lucrative contract with the club.
The transfer would be one of the biggest in Women's Super League history, with Putellas being one of the most experienced and successful players in the world. She has won numerous titles with Barcelona, including eight La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns.
Putellas' departure from Barcelona would be a significant blow to the club, which has been one of the dominant forces in women's football in recent years. The club's president, Joan Laporta, has expressed his sadness at Putellas' departure, saying that she has been an 'incredible' player for the club.
The transfer would also be a major coup for London City Lionesses, which has been looking to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season. The club has already signed several high-profile players this summer and the addition of Putellas would be a major boost to the team's chances of success.
London City Lionesses have yet to comment on the transfer, but sources close to the club have confirmed that Putellas is set to join the team. The transfer is expected to be announced in the coming days.
