Alexia Putellas makes final decision on future after PSG express desire to trigger €1.1m release clause in Barcelona star's contract

According to Sport, Putelas has made it clear to Barca’s hierarchy that her future lies with them, not in Paris. She has no intention of leaving the club where she rose from academy talent to global icon, and she has directly communicated that stance to the decision-makers at Camp Nou. For Putellas, the pull of home is too strong. She feels she is still at the peak of her powers, and with her contract running until June 2026, plus the option of another year, she remains determined to chase more silverware in Blaugrana colours.

Putellas isn’t just staying for comfort. There’s appears to be a fire in her belly after last season’s heartbreak in the Champions League final, where Barcelona fell short of reclaiming Europe’s crown to Arsenal. Sources close to her say she’s desperate to erase that sting and bring the trophy back to Catalunya. Her motivation is not only to keep winning, but to lead.

Inside the Barca dressing room, there’s little appetite for even entertaining PSG’s approach. For players and coaches, losing Putellas isn’t just about losing a midfielder; it’s about ripping out the heartbeat of the side. Team-mates see her as the glue holding the squad together. Her influence, both tactically on the pitch and emotionally off it, is considered irreplaceable.

In the boardroom, though, the debate has been more complicated. Catalunya Radio revealed that some executives quietly acknowledged the €1.1m clause could bring a hefty financial boost at a time when clubs across Europe are under pressure to balance their books. But even those faint murmurs of financial temptation have been drowned out by the overwhelming sentiment that she should not be sold.
