Alexia and Patri's Teammate Wants to Leave Women's Barça: She Can't Stop Standing Out

The player is happy at Barça and it shows, but she wants to return home and be close to her people

Women's Barça has taken advantage of the latest transfer market to strengthen the squad. Three new players have arrived to bring talent and competitiveness. Ewa Pajor and Kika Nazareth are already leaving their mark on the team.

Pajor, in particular, has become a star player for the team, being a natural goalscorer. With her goalscoring instinct and her ability to finish at key moments, the Polish striker has shown that her transfer was a success.

Meanwhile, Kika Nazareth, a promising young Portuguese player, is showing signs of quality in midfield and front. Her ability to create plays and assist her teammates is remarkable. Now, all that's left is for Ellie Roebuck, the newly arrived English goalkeeper, to make her debut at Barça.

A Key Piece Eager to Return Home

However, it's not all good news for Women's Barça. Keira Walsh, one of the most important players of the team, asked to leave last summer transfer window.

Although the player is happy at the club, she wants to return to England, her native country. Arsenal showed great interest in her and was willing to pay a historic sum of 1.1 million euros.

Barça, aware of Walsh's importance in midfield, rejected the offer. At that time, finding a replacement of her level was virtually impossible.

For this reason, it was decided to keep the player until her contract terminates at the end of this season. Although the situation is complicated, the club knows that losing a player with her vision of the game and technical skill will be a challenge.

Outstanding Performance on the Field

Despite the circumstances, Walsh remains a key player in Pere Romeu's system. She shares the midfield with Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas and Patri Guijarro, forming a block of exceptional talent. Walsh stands out for her ball control, her ability to change the pace of the game and her accuracy in passing.

Last Champions League match against St. Pölten, Keira Walsh not only stood out for her playmaking skills, but also scored a goal from outside the box. Plays like these justify Barça's decision to keep her, despite the fact that the player wants to leave.

Laporta Thinks about It

Keira Walsh's situation presents a dilemma for president Joan Laporta. On the one hand, the club knows that it's difficult to find a player with her qualities.

On the other hand, Walsh's desire to return to England is evident. At the moment, Barça is enjoying her skill on the field, but the next transfer window could be crucial.

Meanwhile, Walsh continues to add minutes and goals, showing her professionalism and commitment. Her future is uncertain, but her importance in the current team is unquestionable.
