Women's Barça have once again completed a great season, winning the national treble and only falling in the Champions League final. It's well known that this team doesn't fall into complacency and always wants to go further. While the rest of their rivals across Europe are doing their homework to strengthen, both Aitana and Alexia have asked Joan Laporta for a small effort to complete a key operation.
Claudia Pina: Priority renewal
On Laporta's desk is the case of Claudia Pina, top scorer in this edition of the Champions League with 10 goals. She has completed a great season, earning a starting spot and scoring 24 goals in 42 matches. She is key for Barça to keep adding victories both now and in the future, and the locker room knows they can't lose her under any circumstances.
Pina has become a key piece for this Women's Barça. She is a versatile forward who can play in several positions, performing at the highest level in all of them. There's no need for Aitana and Alexia Putellas to ask for it, because she's already considered a priority renewal. The idea is to start negotiations in the coming days, aiming to reach a long-term agreement with the Catalan "killer".
Important decisions at Women's Barça
Not only is the long-term continuity of Claudia Pina, a forward who will turn 24 in August, seen as key. There are several cases on the table, such as the already completed signing of defender Laia Aleixandri. The City center-back will return to Barça after several years away, intending to cover the absence left by Ingrid Engen, who will leave after her contract ends on June 30.
While Claudia Pina's contract ends in 2026, Mapi León, Graham Hansen, Batlle, Cata Coll, Salma Paralluelo, Rolfö, and Jana Fernández are in the same situation.
Paredes, Patri, Brugts, and Ewa Pajor, as well as Alexia, have contracts until 2027. Meanwhile, only Aitana, Vicky López, and Kika are secured until 2028. Joan Laporta's idea for Women's Barça is to soon add Claudia Pina to this particular list: she can't be allowed to leave and her renewal is an absolute priority.
