Barcelona Femeni is actively working on extending contracts for key players amidst a successful season. The team is close to clinching the league title and preparing for the first leg of the Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich.
Sporting director Marc Vivés confirmed negotiations with players including Alexia Putellas, Ona Batlle, Mapi León, Graham Hansen, Salma Paralluelo, Marta Torrejón, and coach Pere Romeu. Particular attention is on Putellas, whose contract includes a one-year option. Vivés highlighted a good understanding with her and emphasized that any extension will be a mutual decision.
Discussions with Ona Batlle and Mapi León are progressing, though some aspects depend beyond the club's control. Barcelona clearly intends to keep Graham Hansen, while terms with Salma Paralluelo are being addressed. Marta Torrejón's future remains undecided for now.
Along with maintaining a strong roster, the club plans to continue nurturing young players from its B team in line with its long-term development strategy. Vivés also pointed out that Barcelona's dominance highlights the need for greater competitiveness in the women's league to attract and retain talent.
Extending contracts with key players will help Barcelona maintain high performance during decisive stages and strengthen team spirit. For fans, this signals the club's commitment to not only current success but also building the future of women's football in Barcelona.
