Barcelona’s women’s team, fresh off a historic quadruple in the 2025-26 season, now grapples with a second consecutive summer of significant player departures. With seven players leaving the European champions and only Renee van Asten from Ajax arriving, the situation raises concerns about the team's future stability.

Key Departures:

• Alexia Putellas (14 years at the club) joins London City Lionesses.
• Mapi León follows Putellas to London, both on free transfers.
• Ona Batlle heads to Arsenal, reuniting with former teammate Mariona Caldentey.
• Salma Paralluelo is expected to sign with PSG after Chelsea negotiations falter.

The club's financial struggles, stemming from men’s La Liga’s financial fair play issues, have impacted the women’s squad. Currently, the team fields 17 senior players, including two goalkeepers and three forwards, with ongoing discussions to sign Brazil forward Kerolin from Manchester City.

Despite a profit of €1.955m in the previous season, the loss of key players threatens to undermine future financial stability. The club’s reliance on academy talent intensifies as several promising young players, including Carla Julià and Rosalía Domínguez, could be promoted to the first team.

The upcoming pre-season training, set for July 27, puts pressure on the management to reinforce a squad that appears increasingly fragile. With the coach, Pere Romeu, known for his adaptable style, the team must find a balance between integrating new signings and leveraging existing talent if they aim to defend their title as European champions.
