Women's Barça continues working on planning for the next season. With several open fronts, the club not only wants to renew some of its stars but also strengthen the team with top-level players.
In recent days, the name of Laia Aleixandri has gained momentum. The Manchester City footballer finishes her contract in June, and her future is uncertain. Everything points to her wanting to return to Spain, and Women's Barça is one of the most attractive options.
An Expected Return
Laia Aleixandri is a player who knows Barça's DNA well. She was trained at La Masia, although she never debuted with the first team. After her time at Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City, she has gained experience and established herself as a high-level defender.

Now, her return seems more possible than ever. Not only are the culé fans excited about this idea, but also some of her potential future teammates.
Ona Batlle Calls for Her Signing
Among the voices most supporting Laia's arrival is Ona Batlle. The blue-and-red full-back, who already shared a locker room with her in the past, has spoken openly about this possible signing.
"I would love to share a locker room with Laia again. She is 100% Barça DNA." Batlle hasn't confirmed anything, but her desire is clear. She wants to play with her friend again and believes she would fit perfectly into Pere Romeu's team.
Another key player in the locker room, Aitana Bonmatí, would also welcome Aleixandri's addition. The midfielder hasn't made any statements about it, but her relationship with Laia and her influence on the team could be decisive factors.
Aleixandri has good rapport with several Barça players. Besides Batlle and Aitana, she also maintains a great friendship with Alexia Putellas. These types of personal connections can play an important role in her final decision.
A Strategic Signing
Women's Barça always seeks to strengthen itself with players who fit its play style. Laia is young but with international experience. She is a versatile defender, with good ball distribution and great tactical ability.
If her arrival is confirmed, the blue-and-red team would add a key piece to its defense. Additionally, her incorporation would allow for greater rotation in the backline, something essential in a team that competes at the highest level in all competitions.
