Barça Women faces a possible important loss in its sports project. The team led by Pere Romeu could say goodbye to one of its young talents: Jana Fernández, a defender of just 23 years old.

According to El Periódico, the player from Martorell, who totaled 35 appearances (2031'), one goal and one assist in the 2024/25 season with the Barça team, would be close to formalizing her transfer to London City Lionesses. A team recently promoted to the Women's Super League, the highest category of women's football in England, which seeks to form a competitive top-level project, orchestrated from the sports management of Markel Zubizarreta.

Jana Fernández with Barça Women

The institution chaired by Michele Kang —a French businesswoman who is also the president of Olympique Lyon Women— is determined to finalize the incorporation of Jana Fernández. According to sources, only bureaucratic formalities remain to make the incorporation official and proceed with the registration in the competition.

  • 📌 THE FACT: According to Mundo Deportivo, London City Lionesses could pay more than 200,000 euros for Jana Fernández.

Jana Fernández: a precocious career full of successes at Barça Women

If the operation is completed, Jana would end her time at FC Barcelona after six seasons in the first team. Although at the time she experienced a bitter moment after suffering a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee, her record is impressive for her young age: six LaLiga F titles, five Copa de la Reina, five Spanish Super Cups and three UEFA Women's Champions League.

As a curious fact, Jana Fernández debuted with the first team on November 9, 2018, with only 16 years and nine months, becoming one of the youngest players to wear the Barça shirt since the professionalization of the women's team.

Barça Women faces a wave of departures this summer

Now, her departure would represent the sixth loss suffered by Barça Women in this summer transfer window, after the departures of:

  1. Ingrid Engen (free agent)
  2. Ellie Roebuck (Aston Villa)
  3. Fridolina Rolfö (terminated contract)
  4. Bruna Vilamala (Club América)
  5. Martina Fernández (Everton)

This sixth loss shows what seems to be a general shake-up in the Barça dressing room, which is losing several pieces —several of them very young— of its sports project. Although the main core of the team remains intact, the number of losses in the women's section is striking.

Will there be more departures soon? The club must react to not lose competitiveness in an increasingly demanding category with powerful rivals.
