Keira Walsh will join Barcelona. SPORT have learned that the Catalan club have finally reached an agreement with Manchester City to sign the midfielder for a record fee of around €400,000.

Barça have been working hard on the deal, which has not been easy to complete due to City's reluctance to et the England international leave.

Walsh's insistence to join Barça, though, has allowed the two clubs to reach an agreement with the transfer window due to close on Wednesday at midnight.

She is currently with the England national team but will travel to Barcelona in the coming days to finalise the move.

RECORD TRANSFER

Sources close to the negotiations have confirmed the deal is worth around €400,000, a record amount for Barça to spend on a player for the women's team.

 

Walsh, 25, became a firm target for Barça after Alexia Putellas was ruled out for the majority of the season with an ACL injury.
