Barcelona have signed England international Keira Walsh from Manchester City on a three-year deal that will see the Euro 2022 winning midfielder become the world’s most expensive female footballer.

Barcelona and Manchester City reportedly agreed a world-record fee of around £400,000 for the 25-year-old, who was player of the match in England’s Euro 2022 final victory over Germany in July. It breaks the previous record set by Chelsea’s signing of forward Pernille Harder in 2019.
