Lucy Bronze to leave Barcelona on free transfer

Lucy Bronze is leaving Barcelona after two trophy-laden seasons with the Catalan giants, they have announced.

Bronze joined Barca as a free agent in June 2022 after her contract with Manchester City expired and has gone on to make 70 appearances for the club.

She has won two Women's Champions League titles and two Liga F crowns – the second without losing a single game – as well as one Queen's Cup and two Spanish Super Cups.

The England right-back will depart when her contract expires on June 30, though, with a return to the Women's Super League with City mooted in some circles.

The 32-year-old could instead opt for a move to the United States, with National Women's Soccer League outfit Angel City another potential destination.

A statement from Barcelona read: "The club wishes Lucy Bronze good luck and success in her new stage, both personally and professionally."
