England star Keira Walsh completes £400k move to Barcelona as Spanish giants smash the women's transfer record to sign midfielder from Manchester City on three-year deal

England midfielder Keira Walsh has joined Barcelona for a world-record fee from Manchester City, penning a three-year contract with the Spanish club.

The Euro 2022 winner, who had entered the final year of her contract at City following eight years at the club, is now reportedly the most expensive female footballer in history.

As reported by BBC Sport, the £400,000 paid by Barcelona for Walsh has smashed the previous record set by Chelsea, who splashed over £250,000 on Danish star Pernille Harder in 2020.
