Women's Barça Could Experience Many Changes in Their Squad for the Next Season. Many voices point to a budget cut by Joan Laporta despite being the only self-sustaining section. Various teams intend to take advantage of this, willing to put a lot of money on the table to take the great culer stars. The latest name to come to the fore is Irene Paredes, a starting center-back alongside Mapi León.
In Mexico, the rumor is gaining strength that points to Irene Paredes's departure heading to Monterrey, wearing Pachuca's colors. The center-back's contract ends on June 30, and she keeps receiving proposals to leave, both from Europe and other continents. At the moment, she doesn't have a firm agreement for her renewal, but Marca has already discovered what her main priority is: "She wants to stay at Women's Barça".
Irene Paredes, 5 Offers but Prefers Women's Barça
Paredes will turn 34 next July and knows she might be facing her last big contract. Despite everything, she prioritizes her continuity at Women's Barça over money. She is comfortable, feels happy, and knows that at no other club will she be able to fight for all the titles. At the moment, her priority is to stay in Barcelona, with negotiations in an advanced stage.
The renewal of Irene Paredes is being negotiated and there could be an agreement in the coming weeks, if there are no changes. The Basque wants to continue, she is happy both in the team and in the city. Despite the proposals she has on the table, more valuable economically speaking, she has no doubt and prefers to continue.
Irene Paredes's Continuity Could Affect Mapi León
The plan is clear, and it is expected that the center-back can continue for a longer time at Women's Barça. Although Mapi León is delighted with the possible renewal of her partner in the defense axis, she also knows it could negatively affect her.
Irene Paredes's continuity could lead to the departure of Ingrid Engen, Mapi León's partner. The Norwegian also ends her contract on June 30 and is not happy with her role in the squad. She has few minutes and believes she is capable of more: in January, she was about to be transferred to Olympique Lyon, but Women's Barça canceled the operation. Now, she can leave free and completely free of charge.
