Alexia Putellas, dos veces ganadora del Balón de Oro, exige garantías deportivas claras al Barcelona antes de comprometerse con un nuevo contrato. A solo tres meses de que expire su contrato actual, la centrocampista de 32 años está valorando ofertas muy lucrativas procedentes del extranjero. Sin embargo, su prioridad sigue siendo quedarse en el club catalán, siempre y cuando este le presente un proyecto convincente y ganador para el futuro.
Cuando Sydney Schertenleib se presentó ante los medios de comunicación nacionales el verano pasado, antes de disputar su primer Campeonato de Europa con la selección suiza, anfitriona del torneo, a la edad de 18 años, y declaró que su «mayor objetivo» era ganar algún día el Balón de Oro, es posible que algunos pusieran los ojos en blanco.
El dúo del Barcelona formado por Lamine Yamal y Sydney Schertenleib se ha proclamado ganador del NXGN 2026 tras encabezar las listas anuales de GOAL sobre los mejores adolescentes del fútbol (jugadores nacidos a partir del 1 de enero de 2007). Es el segundo año consecutivo en que el Barça aporta al número uno de ambas listas, tras los triunfos de Yamal y Vicky López en 2025.
Vuelven las listas anuales NXGN para 2026: GOAL clasifica a los mejores talentos adolescentes del fútbol masculino y femenino a nivel mundial, coronando a los ganadores que seguirán los pasos de figuras como Jude Bellingham, Lamine Yamal, Lena Oberdorf y Linda Caicedo al ser reconocidos como los mejores futbolistas jóvenes del planeta.
Aitana Bonmati ha ganado los tres últimos Balones de Oro Femeninos, pero en 2026 el galardón recaerá en otra jugadora. ¿Será la dos veces ganadora y compañera en el Barcelona, Alexia Putellas, quien vuelva a reafirmarse como la mejor jugadora del fútbol femenino? ¿O podría aparecer un nuevo nombre en la lista de ganadoras cuando se entregue el Balón de Oro en París en octubre?
El Chelsea, el Arsenal, el Orlando Pride y el London City Lionesses batieron el récord mundial solo en 2025, a medida que crece el gasto en el fútbol femenino.
