[Marc Gironés](https://medium.com/@marcgirones/novetats-a-la-porteria-del-bar%C3%A7a-femen%C3%AD-una-renovaci%C3%B3-i-un-futur-per-decidir-11294aea20d2) reports that FC Barcelona have extended goalkeeper Gemma Font’s contract until June 2027. Font, who has spent 14 seasons at the club and currently serves as the backup to Cata Coll, was approaching the end of her contract this summer. Negotiations had been ongoing, and the club ultimately agreed to Font’s terms, including a significant salary increase.
Despite receiving offers from clubs in the NWSL, [WSL](https://womenfootball.blog/womens-super-league-table-standings/), Serie A, and Liga F, Font’s strong connection to Barça played a key role in her decision to stay. Meanwhile, veteran defender Marta Torrejón—whose contract is also set to expire—has reportedly received a renewal offer. She is expected to make a decision on her future in the coming weeks.
Ellie Roebuck’s future with FC Barcelona grew more and more uncertain with the extension of Font’s contract. Earlier this year, LaTdG reported that the club is exploring exit options for the 25-year-old goalkeeper. Roebuck signed with FC Barcelona in 2024. She was part of the England squad that won EURO 2022 and reached the World Cup final the following year.
FC Barcelona have confirmed the signing of Laia Aleixandri on a free transfer, with a contract running until 2029. Earlier in May, Sport reported that the club and the player had already reached an agreement. Aleixandri will add versatility to the Barcelona squad, as she is capable of playing in multiple positions. She returns to the club after eight years, having come through the youth ranks and featured for Barcelona B.
Laia Aleixandri’s message: “The future takes me to where it all started. I grew up with these colours. Here I learned what it means to defend this crest. Now, I’m ready to do it again. Let’s keep moving the world, Culers.”
