Paralluelo joins Barca women's departures
Spain's Salma Paralluelo will leave Barcelona after her contract ended on Tuesday, said the Catalan giants.
The 22-year-old forward has been an important part of Barcelona's success over the past few seasons and won the World Cup with Spain in 2023.
"She leaves Barca having scored 72 goals in the 131 matches she played, and after becoming... one of the most complete players on the planet," said Barcelona in a statement.
Paralluelo struck twice in the Champions League final as Barca beat Lyon in May to win the competition for the fourth time in six years.
The winger claimed three of those as well as four league titles among a total of 15 trophies in four years at the club after joining from Villarreal.
Earlier this summer two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas announced her departure and will join London City Lionesses.
Centre-back Mapi Leon is also expected to make the same switch, while full-back Ona Batlle is set to move to Arsenal.
Winger Caroline Graham Hansen is also out of contract but is expected to stay at Barca, along with coach Pere Romeu who signed a new deal until 2028.
