Alexia Putellas Linked With London City Lionesses Move
Alexia Putellas is being linked with london city lionesses, and a contract offer has been on the table for some time. The Barcelona midfielder is set to leave the club, putting one of the summer’s biggest transfer decisions in motion. London City are not in Europe next season, which makes the size of the offer more striking.
Putellas and London City Lionesses
Putellas arrives at this point after captaining Barcelona to another Champions League trophy over the weekend. She was also named Champions League Player of the Season and is the favourite to win the Ballon d'or later this year. Those credentials explain why the offer from London City sits well above the terms Barcelona are offering.
London City have already been active in the market this summer. They have approached out-of-contract duo Mapi Leon and Mary Earps, while Kosovare Asllani and Grace Geyoro are already on the books. The club is building a squad with names that can change the standard of the women’s game, even without European football next season.
Chelsea Want Felicia Schroder
Chelsea’s No 9 search has also moved on after Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw decided to stay at Manchester City. The club still want to go ahead with plans for Felicia Schroder, the 19-year-old Hacken striker who scored 30 goals in Sweden last season.
Schroder also scored a hat-trick in the second leg of the Europa Cup final earlier this month. Chelsea are prepared to offer Hacken around £1.5m for her, and her contract runs until 2029. She is set to play Champions League football at her Swedish club, while also chasing a place as her country’s starting striker at the World Cup.
Barcelona's Decision Point
For Putellas, the next move is now the one that matters. She is expected to make a decision on her future soon, and London City’s offer gives her a direct route into a project built around high-profile signings rather than European nights. That makes the choice between Barcelona’s terms and London City’s push the defining transfer call of her summer.
