Women's Barça Remain in the Fight for All Titles This Season. Liga F, Copa de la Reina, and the Champions League are the main objectives. With players like Ewa Pajor in great form and being the top scorer of the tournament with 17 goals, the team wants to continue making history.
Beyond the present, the club already has its sights set on the future. Planning for the next season is key. That's where renewals, loans, and sporting decisions come into play.
Many Unknowns in the Squad
Barça will have to decide what to do with key players like Irene Paredes, Ingrid Engen, and Marta Torrejón. Their contracts are hanging in the air, and their continuity is not guaranteed.
But they are not the only footballers who can shape the team's future. There are also the loaned players. Martina Fernández is one of them.
The young center-back went to Everton to gain minutes, continue growing, and gain experience in a league as demanding as the English one. Her loan ends in June 2025, and her return to Barcelona poses a dilemma. Does she have a place in the first team? Or would it be better to find her another exit?
A Return with Doubts
Barça trusts Martina. Proof of this is that they renewed her until 2026 before loaning her out, but the competition in defense is enormous. If Irene Paredes and Marta Torrejón renew, the young footballer's options are reduced.
Martina is not the only one in this situation. Bruna Vilamala, loaned to Brighton, will also need to know her future in the summer. Both have taken advantage of their loans to show their quality, but now they need to know if they will have a place in the team or if they will have to keep waiting.
Pere Romeu Has the Final Say
The final decision rests with Pere Romeu, the person in charge of sports planning. He and his team will have to analyze what is best for the club and the players.
Martina Fernández dreams of succeeding at Barça. She has shown it at Everton, where she has had continuity and good minutes. Her desire is to stay, compete, and fight for a spot.
However, everything will depend on the transfer market, renewals, and the club's strategy.
The summer of 2025 will be intense in Barça's offices. There will be signings, renewals, and departures. Players like Martina and Bruna Vilamala are waiting for an opportunity, but the decision is not in their hands.
