Clubs such as Corinthians are thought to be interested in signing the Brazilian legend. But Orlando Pride negotiated with her multiple times to keep her at the club.
Kayla Walsh
Lionesses star Keira Walsh, who won Euro 2022 with England, currently plays for Barcelona and has won seven trophies with the team since signing in 2022.
The world-class midfielder is entering the final season of her contract with the Spanish club and there are currently no rumors linking her with extending her stay. Of course, she could leave for free in the summer after adding more trophies to her collection, but Barca may want to cash in on the player.
When Walsh signed nearly three years ago, her transfer was a record-breaking one. Arsenal and Chelsea are thought to be interested in the midfielder if Barca do want to sell her.
