Alexia Putellas joins London City Lionesses

Alexia Putellas, a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, has decided to transfer to the Women's Super League club, London City Lionesses. The 32-year-old player left Barcelona in May after 14 years of playing and is considered one of the greatest players in the history of women's football. Sources close to Putellas say she chose the south London club over Boston Legacy in the United States, which was one of her last options. Although London City Lionesses are confident of completing the transfer, the deal has not yet been formally concluded. This is a remarkable achievement for London City Lionesses, who as an independent women's football club are attracting increasing interest on the transfer market. The club finished its debut campaign in sixth place in the top flight, while Putellas led Barcelona to a fourth Champions League title.  Almost every club in the world that had the financial ability to employ Putellas was interested in her services, but it was London City Lionesses who won the competition. During her time at Barcelona, ​​Putellas won a total of 38 trophies, including 10 league titles. The Spanish midfielder scored a record 232 goals in 507 appearances, ranking second on the all-time most appearances list - just nine behind Melanie Serrano. Putellas also won the World Cup with her national team in 2023 and was part of the team that finished runners-up to England at Euro 2025. Due to a cruciate ligament injury before Euro 2022, she was unable to take part in the tournament, but returned to full fitness the following season. Since her return, she has shown the form that earned her two Ballon d'Or awards in 2021 and 2022. Sources indicate that the London City Lionesses have been pursuing Putellas since January and have always been confident they could secure her transfer. The player will join the club for free once her contract with Barcelona expires, although the Lionesses are believed to have offered her a significant salary. --- ## Related Articles 1.
