Barça Women has initiated strategic moves to shore up its sports project, after a summer transfer market 2025/26 marked by numerous departures and just a couple of additions. This situation expresses a moment of transition, but also of consolidation for a Blaugrana team that seeks to maintain its competitive status.
- DEPARTURES FROM BARÇA WOMEN 2025/26:
- Jana Fernández (London City Lionesses F)
- Ingrid Engen (free agent)
- Ellie Roebuck (Aston Villa)
- Fridolina Rolfö (terminated contract)
- Bruna Vilamala (Club América)
- Martina Fernández (Everton)
- ADDITIONS TO BARÇA WOMEN 2025/26:
- Laia Aleixandri (Manchester City)
- Lucía Corrales (Sevilla FC)
- Sydney Schertenleib
Renewal of Claudia Pina and Cata Coll: secured until 2028
Beyond the market movements, the sports management of the Blaugrana women's section would be close to finalizing the renewal of two fundamental pieces of the first team. According to Mundo Deportivo, Claudia Pina (forward) and Cata Coll (goalkeeper) ―both of whom had contracts expiring in 2026― will renew until 2028.
These contractual extensions seek to shield both players from possible offers from abroad. It should not be forgotten that there are teams that could try to take advantage of the exodus of players in Barça Women and try to acquire their services in this summer market.
Key renewals in Barça Women to maintain a winning project
If these operations materialize, it will only be the beginning of a larger plan by the sports management led by Marc Vives. The management aims to define the contractual situation of several players whose contracts expire in 2026, including:
- Marta Torrejón
- Mapi León
- Salma Paralluelo
- Caroline Graham Hansen
- Ona Battle
- Alexia Putellas
These renewals are essential to maintain the strength of a winning project, which recently achieved a treble (Liga F, Copa de la Reina, and Spanish Super Cup). The only pending task was to win the UEFA Women’s Champions League (they were defeated in the final against Arsenal 1-0).
Despite the departure of several players, the Blaugrana entity plans to reinforce the first team with players from the 'B' team, such as Sydney Schertenleib and Txell Font, thus guaranteeing a stellar competitive level. This strategy allows combining experience with emerging talent, maintaining the competitiveness that has characterized Barça Women in recent years.
