Barcelona Femeni is seeking to bring Levante UD’s Maria Mendez to the Estadi Johan Cryuff. The centre back is said to be an option for reinforcement in the backline for the Blaugrana who have been plague with injuries so far this season.
However, Barcelona is not the only club in pursuit of the Spanish defender, with reports claiming that English side Chelsea are also seeking to acquire the player’s services. According to Sport.es, Barcelona has already made first contact with the player, stating that the player fits the club’s sporting and economic context.
While Barcelona might be interested in the player, the deal is not likely to be completed until the summer due to economic reasons. Also, the player’s contract is set to expire in the summer and Barcelona could secure her services as a free agent.
