Huge offer for Alexia Putellas! Barça's top rival has 2 days to secure her signing

Women's Barça's main rival seeks to secure the signing of Alexia Putellas two days before the transfer window closes

Women's Barça has experienced a transfer window that is, at the very least, unusual, mainly because they've let a lot of talent slip away to direct rivals. Pere Romeu was surprised, although he assured that Women's Barça's squad is competitive and, therefore, will fight to win every title, with special focus on the Champions League. Despite this, it seems that Women's Barça could suffer another major emotional blow: there are rumors placing Alexia Putellas at Romeu's Women's Barça's number one rival.

The transfer window in women's soccer closes this coming September 19, so at Women's Barça they aren't ruling out Alexia Putellas's departure. According to "Mundo Deportivo", Alexia Putellas has received an offer from French club PSG, which wants to have the midfielder from Mollet del Vallès for the next four official seasons. Women's Barça doesn't want to negotiate, but they know PSG is willing to pay Alexia Putellas's release clause.

The two-time Ballon d'Or winner has received PSG's offer, which would significantly improve her salary at Women's Barça. For now, Pere Romeu isn't willing to let Alexia Putellas go, but anything can happen with less than two days left before the transfer window closes.

Women's Barça has lost a lot of talent during this transfer window: young players like Jana Fernández or Lucía Corrales, but also established stars like Ingrid Engen have said goodbye to the club. Women's Barça, however, has managed to keep Claudia Pina, Graham Hansen, Alexia Putellas, and Aitana Bonmatí, although everything could change in the coming days, according to "Mundo Deportivo".

According to the aforementioned outlet, at Women's Barça they value Alexia Putellas's role, on par with many legends, but they understand that some opportunities only come once. PSG is going all in for Alexia Putellas, who renewed her contract, but she only has a contract until June 2026, so she could consider leaving now. However, beyond this contract until 2026, the "Queen" has another optional year on the table, although the conditions wouldn't be the same as those proposed by PSG.

Barça, as is evident, won't negotiate the sale of Alexia Putellas, so PSG will have to pay the release clause and reach an agreement with the player.

For now, Alexia Putellas hasn't spoken out, but she could do so in the coming hours: the transfer window in Liga F ends this coming September 19. In addition to Alexia Putellas, PSG is also going all in for Vicky López, a young talent from Women's Barça and a key piece in Pere Romeu's squad.

According to "El Periódico", the French club also wants to secure the services of the Madrid-born player from Women's Barça, Vicky López, who is only 19 years old. Vicky López, the youngest player in history to debut with Women's Barça, has a contract until 2028, so PSG will have to pay the release clause to sign her.
