Central defender Martina Fernández is coming home after a year and a half at Everton, where she spent the first six months on loan before the move was made permanent the following season. FC Barcelona has exercised the buy-back option agreed with the Merseyside club, so she will once again wear the blaugrana jersey.

Martina Fernández will sign a new contract with the club through to 2029. The official contract signing ceremony will take place at FC Barcelona's offices in the presence of club president Joan Laporta and the director responsible for women's football, Xavier Puig.
