Alexia Putellas to sign with London City Lionesses after leaving FC Barcelona

After 14 seasons and 38 trophies with FC Barcelona, two‑time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas is set to move abroad. Reports from The Guardian and French media say she has reached an agreement with the London City Lionesses, the English Women’s Super League club owned by Michele Kang. The transfer would represent one of the biggest signings in the league’s history.

Other clubs have also shown interest. Mexican teams are reportedly offering the highest financial package, while clubs in the United States, including NWSL sides, have been in contact with the player. Putellas remains focused on her role with the Spanish national team ahead of a World Cup qualifier against Iceland.

The move would mark the end of her Barcelona era and signal a new chapter in a rapidly growing Liga MX Femenil market and the broader women's football landscape.
