The 26-year-old’s previous deal was set to run out in 2025, but her stay was never in doubt. A graduate of the club’s academy, she has grown into one of the most valuable stars the club has.
As a result, she always seemed set to stay at Barca for the future. And now, the club has tied her down to three more years with them.
Bonmati is close to achieving the 100-goal mark for the club, as she has currently scored 96 goals in 275 appearances for Barcelona Femeni across all competitions. She has also won multiple Women’s Champions League titles and domestic titles, and also won the FIFA Women’s World Cup with Spain.
