Women's Barça keeps undergoing changes these last few months, and it seems like things won't change anytime soon. On Joan Laporta's table, there is a case that needs to be solved sooner rather than later: Jana Fernández. The defender, at 22 years old, will see her contract end next June of 2025, and the coming days will be crucial for her continuity.
Mundo Deportivo has discovered that FC Barcelona has the option to extend Jana Fernández's contract unilaterally. To do so, they can execute her automatic renewal clause for one year, but they must do it before February 15. There are only a few days left to reach what is expected to be a key date for the Catalan defender's continuity.
Initially, it seems that Women's Barça intends to execute the automatic renewal clause for Jana Fernández. However, this involves a small issue: her salary would increase substantially. This matter has to be addressed between the club and the team managing her future, to clarify what will happen with the Catalan in the team she loves.
Alexia Putellas on Alert: Jana Fernández Could Move to the United States
If Jana Fernández ends up having the freedom to leave Women's Barça, her next destination could be in the United States. There, San Diego Wave has contacted her to try to bring her over, although they haven't made any proposal yet. In this regard, the plan would be to take her immediately, with the transfer market open there.
Nevertheless, whether her renewal is executed or not, Barcelona knows that they don't intend to part with Jana Fernández at a time when they can't sign new players. This could imply her free departure starting next June 30, when her contract expires.
Alexia Putellas remains alert to what the future may hold for her good friend Jana Fernández. They have a very close relationship, one of the strongest in the locker room, as they have been friends for the last few years. It would be a severe blow for the double Ballon d'Or winner if she ended up leaving.
Meanwhile, in the United States, they await a decision from Women's Barça to try to secure the addition of Alexia Putellas's good friend. There, they are preparing to try to weaken the blaugrana team and acquire their most powerful players.
