Manchester City have signed the Spain defender Leila Ouahabi from Barcelona on a two-year contract. The 29-year-old’s arrival was announced shortly after Chelsea said they had brought in the versatile France defender Ève Périsset.
Ouahabi will join City on 1 July after her deal at Barcelona expires. She has spent her whole career with the Catalan club from the age 13 other than a three-year spell at Valencia between 2013 and 2016 and has won multiple trophies, including the 2021 Champions League.
