The current Ballon d’Or winner continues to believe in Barça Femení’s commitment to remain at the top of women’s football

The Spanish international player Aitana Bonmatí has ​​renewed this Monday with FC Barcelona to continue leading Barça Femení until 2028, in an agreement that was an open secret and whose negotiations finally come to fruition, so that the current Ballon d’Or player can continue to play her football at the Estadi Johan Ctuyff and in the near future at the new Spotify Camp Nou.

“The story continues. FC Barcelona and Aitana Bonmatí have reached an agreement for the continuity of the current Ballon d’Or until June 30, 2028, thus strengthening the club’s commitment to women’s football and to a player who has been at the club since 2011, when she arrived at just 13 years old,” the club announced.

For the club, the renewal of the current best player in the world means maintaining the “winning bet” on the women’s team. “Aitana is not just any player. Barça’s number 14, who saw her renewal announced at 2:14 p.m., is the current Ballon d’Or winner, Best Player in Europe by UEFA and Best Sportswoman in the World at the Laureus, among other individual awards,” the club recalled.

Aitana is a key player in Pere Romeu’s team, having also scored in the last Champions League final played in Bilbao, in the last great success in the previous stage with Jonatan Giráldez on the bench.

The one from Sant Pere de Ribes (Barcelona) is the top scorer in the club’s history in the top European competition, tied with Alexia Putellas (22 goals each).

To date, Aitana Bonmatí has ​​played 275 matches for Barça, scoring 96 official goals. She will therefore soon reach 100 goals. At the moment, they are distributed as follows: 60 in La Liga, 22 in the Champions League, 8 in the Copa de la Reina, 3 in the Spanish Super Cup and 3 more in the Copa Catalunya.

In total, she has won 23 titles with the Barça women’s team and is ranked eighth among players with the most trophies, a ranking in which she still has a long way to go to continue climbing positions. With Aitana until 2028, Barça has secured a jewel for the present and future.

In addition to Aitana and her family and the club president, Joan Laporta, the event to sign the new contract was attended by the director in charge of Barça Femení, Xavier Puig, and the sports director of women’s football, Marc Vivés.
