Women's Barça's team is always looking for ways to improve its squad to stay at the top of the elite. The latest transfer that Laporta is preparing comes from Mexico and Alexia Putellas couldn't be more pleased. We're talking about Lizbeth Ovalle, a 25-year-old forward currently playing for Tigres.
Relevo has revealed that Barça has shown interest in knowing Lizbeth Ovalle's situation to try to make an offer next summer. The managing secretariat has been following the Mexican for quite some time and the intention is to make their position clear, trying to find out her final price. She is one of the stars of Mexico and has very positive reports.
After learning of Barça's interest, Alexia Putellas has asked her good friend Jenni Hermoso, Lizbeth Ovalle's teammate at Tigres, for references. After what the Madrid native told her, the truth is that Alexia couldn't be more eager to share a team next season with the Mexican. She's a great player and would fill a need that has existed in the squad since Mariona's departure.
Lizbeth Ovalle renewed her contract with Tigres in 2022, but it ends on June 30, 2025. In this context, Women's Barça has already hinted at their interest and has personally contacted the Mexican, letting her know that they want her free for next season. Ovalle could arrive completely free, a requirement imposed by Laporta himself to try to save money.
