Aitana Bonmati becomes highest-paid player in women's football as Barcelona star signs record-breaking contract until 2028

Liga F

Real Madrid Femenino

Barcelona

<p>Bonmati joined Barcelona's youth setup in 2012 and the midfielder has risen up through the ranks as many before her. Over the course of the last few years, the 26-year-old's presence in the side has been pivotal to their successes in the league and the Women's Champions League.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑒𝑠, <a href="https://twitter.com/AitanaBonmati?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AitanaBonmati</a> 💙❤️ <a href="https://t.co/u0FmgZ2kg5">pic.twitter.com/u0FmgZ2kg5</a></p>— FC Barcelona Femení (@FCBfemeni) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBfemeni/status/1835655597993173120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 16, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Bonmati's current contract was set to expire in the summer of 2025, and as such the Catalan side have now tied her down to a new deal until 2028 amid interest from clubs for the Ballon d'Or winner. Bonmati's agent Cristian Martin recently claimed that WSL champions <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/aitana-bonmati-chelsea-barcelona-star-ballon-d-or-future/bltdef3e5cd3c74fdb1" target="_blank">Chelsea were ready to trigger her €3 million (£2.53m/3.32m) release clause</a> - to make her the most expensive signing in the history of women's football. However, Bonmati turned down the approaches by Sonia Bompastor's side to stay in Catalonia.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>As per <a href="https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/41159399/aitana-bonmati-signs-record-breaking-barcelona-contract" target="_blank">ESPN</a>, Bonmati's new contract with Barcelona has now made her the highest-paid female footballer in the world. While the salaries of players are not revealed in the women's game, the report has claimed that Bonmati will now be paid wages exceeding anything seen in the game.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Barcelona have begun their Liga Femenina campaign in style, with two wins in two. They will now look to continue that run when they face Sevilla on Saturday, September 21 at the Ramon Cisneros Palacios Ciudad.</p>
