Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly launched a bold attempt to lure Alexia Putellas away from FC Barcelona, with a massive four-year contract proposal and plans to trigger her release clause.
According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, PSG are prepared to go all in for the two-time Ballon d’Or winner before the close of the women’s transfer window. The French club see Putellas as the star who could transform their squad and elevate their Champions League push.
Barcelona’s Position
Putellas only signed her most recent extension with Barcelona in May 2024, committing her future until June 2026 with the option of an additional year. Barça officials have made it clear that she remains central to their project and have no intention of entering negotiations.
The midfielder, who has made over 400 appearances for the club and scored nearly 190 goals, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in Barça Femení’s history.
Player’s Priority
Despite PSG’s lucrative offer, reports suggest that Putellas’ first choice is to remain at Barcelona. Her loyalty to the club and role as a captain figure remain strong factors, though the release clause mechanism could still complicate matters if PSG choose to trigger it.
What’s Next
-
If PSG activate the release clause, Barça may be powerless to stop the deal.
-
Putellas’ decision will then come down to whether she’s willing to swap Camp Nou for Paris.
-
With just days left in the transfer window, the situation is poised to escalate quickly.
For now, Barça fans can take comfort in the fact that their iconic midfielder still sees her future in Catalonia — but the next 48 hours could prove decisive in one of the most dramatic sagas of the women’s football market.
