Barcelona reach contract agreement to make Ballon d’Or holder the highest earner in the Femeni squad
Barcelona are securing the future of its Women’s team by focusing on retaining one of its brightest stars, Aitana Bonmati.
According to Catalunya Radio (h/t SPORT), the club has reached an agreement with Bonmati, the best footballer on the planet, to renew her contract, which is set to expire in 2025.
This renewal ensures Bonmati’s presence at the club for the foreseeable future and is a clear sign of Barcelona’s commitment to building a project around the talented midfielder.
Highest paid player in Barça Femeni
With this new agreement, Aitana Bonmati will become the highest-paid player in the Barcelona Femeni squad, surpassing Alexia Putellas, who previously held this distinction.
Barcelona’s desire to tie Bonmati down to a new contract is indicative of the club’s trust in the midfielder, who has played a pivotal role in Barça Femini’s ongoing success in both domestic and continental competitions.
The club plans to make an official announcement regarding Bonmatí’s contract renewal in the coming days or weeks.
Securing Bonmati’s future at the club is a major boost for Barcelona as they continue to build a strong foundation for sustained success in women’s football.
The announcement, in fact, could coincide with the upcoming Ballon d’Or ceremony, where Bonmati has once again emerged as one of the favourites.
Bonmati, after all, had secured the prestigious award in 2023, breaking the two-time streak of her teammate Alexia Putellas.
