The paths of FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are often linked, between the transfers that took place (Neymar), those that never happened (Verratti) and of course the clashes on the pitch. This is true in men, but also in women, to a lesser degree.
In women's football, Barça reigns supreme, and PSG does not really play in the same league. The capital club is looking to compete with Olympique Lyonnais at the national level. With this in mind, Parisian leaders attempted a nice move this summer.
At the end of the transfer window, PSG became interested in the situation of Alexia Putellas. Double Ballon d'Or (2021, 2022), the Spaniard is now eclipsed by Aitana Bonmati at Barça. PSG wondered if she was not interested in a new adventure, at 32 years old.
PSG? “It wasn’t the first offer”
“ This offer aroused media interest, but it was not the first, explains the player in Sport, before recounting her decision process. The path was short and easy. When this offer came in, and so did the others, we talked to the club: 'What is the situation?' What do you want ? Are you counting on me or not?' And the debate was closed. »
Alexia Putellas wanted guarantees from Barça leaders. “ There was no further debate, because the club was very clear. They told me: 'We need your performances like last year. You have energy and the desire to succeed.' Obviously, the season had already started, and my commitment to the goals, the staff and my teammates is at its highest. This is how it happened. »
