Barcelona's star player Alexia Putellas has extended her stay at the club by signing a new two-year contract, keeping her at the Catalan side until 2026. The deal also includes an option for an additional season, solidifying Putellas' commitment to the team she has been a part of for over a decade.
Putellas, a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, began her journey with Barcelona back in 2005 when she joined the club's youth academy. She later made her way to the first team in 2012 and has since become a key figure in the squad.
Despite facing injury setbacks in recent seasons, Putellas has shown resilience and determination, making a significant impact whenever she takes the field. This season alone, she has made 25 appearances and scored 10 goals across all competitions.
Throughout her time at Barcelona, Putellas has amassed an impressive record, featuring in over 400 matches and clinching 20 major trophies, including multiple Liga F titles and Champions League triumphs.
Her contributions have been instrumental in Barcelona's success, notably helping the team secure their first-ever European trophy in 2021. Putellas' stellar performances have also earned her individual accolades, including the prestigious Ballon d'Or in both 2021 and 2022.
Barcelona is on the verge of a historic season, with the possibility of claiming a quadruple if they emerge victorious in the upcoming Champions League final against Lyon. Having already secured the Liga F title, Copa de la Reina, and Spanish Supercopa, a win in the final would mark a remarkable achievement for Putellas and her teammates.
On the international stage, Putellas was a key member of the Spain squad that triumphed in the World Cup last summer and the UEFA Women's Nations League earlier this year, further showcasing her talent and leadership abilities.
