Alexia Putellas à Londres ? La star espagnole savoure la Coupe du monde tandis que les rumeurs de transfert vont bon train

Double lauréate du Ballon d’Or, Alexia Putellas savoure la Coupe du monde dans la peau d’une supportrice tout en préparant sereinement le prochain chapitre de sa carrière en club, désormais libre de tout contrat.

Alexia Putellas truly stands in a league of her own. Her professional future remains a topic of intense speculation following the announcement in May that she would depart FC Barcelona, concluding an illustrious 14-season tenure. While reports suggest she has agreed to a move to London City Lionesses, an official confirmation is still pending. It appears highly probable she will continue her career in Europe, although enticing proposals have also arrived from various clubs within the National Women’s Soccer League.

The decorated player is currently weighing her options after a remarkable chapter with Barcelona, which saw her collect an astonishing 38 trophies, including 10 league titles, and net 232 goals across 507 appearances.

In an exclusive discussion, Putellas reflected on her time at FC Barcelona, describing it as “a journey marked by growth, ambition, and unforgettable moments shared with incredible teammates, staff, and supporters.”

Without revealing her upcoming destination, she took the opportunity to discuss the ongoing World Cup. As a member of Spain’s 2023 World Cup-winning squad, she expressed her delight in watching the tournament unfold as a fan, passionately cheering on her home country.

“What makes the World Cup so uniquely special is its power to unite the entire football community,” she stated.

“This would be a resounding achievement for Spanish football.”
Alexia Putellas has a multitude of commitments, from contract negotiations to considering offers from top women’s clubs globally. Yet, when questioned about her future, she skillfully redirects the conversation to the current football tournament.
“I am closely following the tournament,” she commented. “The intensity, the atmosphere within the stadiums, and the unexpected twists are always major highlights for me. The World Cup consistently creates unforgettable narratives…”
Historically, Spain boasts two World Cup titles, shared between its men’s and women’s national teams. The men’s squad triumphed in 2010, while the women’s team currently holds the trophy after their victory at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.
“It would be an incredible accomplishment for Spanish football. International successes demonstrate to young players that dreams can indeed become reality. If both the women’s and men’s national teams achieve global success, it sends a powerful message to the next generation: Spanish football remains a worldwide benchmark.”

“Every successful football tournament contributes to developing this sport globally.”
As the men’s World Cup progresses, Putellas is backing Spain while also viewing the tournament as a crucial catalyst for the global advancement of football.
“Every successful football tournament helps to propel the sport forward on a global scale,” Putellas explained. “When fans engage with international football, this enthusiasm often carries over to other competitions as well.
I am convinced that a successful men’s World Cup generates even greater anticipation for the women’s event and attracts new audiences to women’s football.”
Putellas’s forthcoming club decision will largely hinge on which destination best prepares her for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027, scheduled for next summer. Putellas and Spain have already secured their qualification for this prestigious event by dominating Group A3 of the UEFA Women’s European Championship qualifiers.
The Barcelona star’s teammates clinched their spot in June, topping the group with a decisive 6-1 victory over Iceland.
“It brings together the entire football community.”
Putellas has once again partnered with Lay’s this year for their “No Lay’s, No Game” campaign, reflecting the shared passion between the brand and football enthusiasts.
“The game simply isn’t the same without the passion, energy, and unwavering support of the fans,” Putellas emphasized. “What makes the World Cup so special is its ability to unite the entire football community. It’s one of those rare moments where supporters worldwide share the same emotions, celebrate identical moments, and collectively forge unforgettable memories.”
Typically, she is the one signing jerseys for young players or being cheered by her adoring fans; this time, however, she will savor the tournament from the stands.
“I hope to attend several matches. Being inside a stadium during a World Cup is an incredible experience; you truly feel the energy and passion of the supporters. For now, I’m taking things one day at a time and simply enjoying the tournament as it unfolds.”

Putellas spotted in Los Angeles
Putellas had the opportunity to soak in the electric atmosphere at the Los Angeles Stadium as Spain secured a 3-0 victory over Austria in the Round of 16. This appears to be the first World Cup match she has personally attended.
Whether she is reveling in the World Cup as a fan or already planning new triumphs for her own supporters while contemplating her next career move, Putellas consistently maintains control – a perpetually advantageous position on the footballing chessboard.
