Women’s Super League club London City Lionesses have completed the landmark signing of two-time Ballon d’Or Féminin winner Alexia Putellas, in what is being widely described as one of the biggest and most historic transfers in WSL history.
The Spain international signed a three-year contract after leaving FC Barcelona Femení, ending a glittering 14-year spell during which she won 38 major trophies, including 10 league titles and four UEFA Women’s Champions League crowns.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in women’s football, the 32-year-old joins London City on a free transfer after attracting interest from several leading clubs across Europe and the United States.
“I am thrilled to embark on this new chapter with London City Lionesses,” Putellas said.
