Barcelona confirmed that the legendary midfielder will depart when her contract expires this summer after spending 14 unforgettable years with the Catalan giants. The announcement comes just days after Putellas helped Barça secure another UEFA Women’s Champions League title, ending her career at the club on a historic high.
The 32-year-old leaves as one of the most decorated players in football history, having won 38 trophies with Barcelona, including multiple Liga F titles and four UEFA Women’s Champions League crowns. Putellas also departs as the club’s all-time leading scorer in women’s football with over 230 goals in more than 500 appearances.
In an emotional farewell message shared by the club, Putellas reflected on her journey from a young Barcelona supporter to becoming the face of the women’s team and one of the sport’s biggest global icons. Her influence extended beyond trophies, as she played a massive role in elevating women’s football worldwide and turning Barcelona Femení into a dominant European powerhouse.
Reports suggest several clubs across Europe and the United States are monitoring her situation, with strong links emerging to English side London City Lionesses ahead of next season. However, Putellas has not officially confirmed her next destination.
Her departure marks the end of a golden generation at Barcelona, where she transformed from a talented teenager into a global football superstar, winning back-to-back Ballon d’Or awards and captaining both club and country to major success.
Barcelona are expected to hold a special farewell ceremony to honour Putellas’ incredible legacy and contribution to the club.
