London City Lionesses chase Alexia Putellas after Barcelona exit

Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas has confirmed her departure from Barcelona after 14 years at the club. London City Lionesses are reportedly in pursuit of the Spanish star.

Spanish football icon Alexia Putellas has announced she is leaving FC Barcelona after 14 years, bringing an end to a remarkable chapter in women's football. The two-time Ballon d'Or winner's departure marks one of the most significant transfers in women's football history.

London City Lionesses, who compete in England's Women's Super League, are believed to be among the clubs pursuing Putellas following her announcement. The English club would represent a major coup if they were to secure the signature of one of the sport's greatest players.

Putellas, widely regarded as one of the finest midfielders in women's football, won back-to-back Ballon d'Or awards and was central to Barcelona's dominance in European women's football in recent years. Her departure after a decade and a half at the Catalan club signals the end of an era for both the player and the club.
