Salma Paralluelo completed a move from Barcelona to Lyon on a free transfer, signing a four-year contract that formalizes a high-profile summer exit for the Catalan giants. The transfer follows her contract expiring and signals Lyon’s bid to strengthen a squad already assembled with notable additions. Paralluelo leaves Barcelona after delivering 72 goals in 131 appearances and collecting a trove of trophies, including three UEFA Women’s Champions League titles. She has also been a cornerstone for Spain, contributing to their 2023 World Cup triumph and earning world titles at U-17 and U-20 levels. Lyon announced the signing publicly and plan to integrate her into their plans as part of a preseason push alongside other new arrivals. The move underscores Lyon’s ongoing strategy to cement their status as a European powerhouse in women’s football ahead of the new season.
