Alexia Putellas will turn 31 on February 4 and there has been debate at Barça about who could become her heir. After much thought and with Alexia's blessing, all eyes, including Laporta 's, are on the very young Vicky López, who is just 18 years old. She has the potential to lead women's soccer for years to come and no one doubts her.
Vicky López's contract was about to expire with Barcelona, but the confidence is such that it has already been renewed... and not for a short time. In women's soccer, long contracts are not usually signed, but the Madrid native's is an exception: she is tied down until 2028, with a clause so that she cannot leave. She arrived at just 16 years old and already has a first-team registration.
Joan Laporta has no doubts and is happy with the blessing of Alexia Putellas. At Barça there are very high expectations for Vicky López. No one will be signed when the Catalan decides to retire, because her replacement is already in Barcelona . At 18 years old she has everything to succeed and it has been Alexia herself who has welcomed her into her arms, helping her in every way possible.
