Barcelona are reportedly ready to make Lyon’s Ada Hegerberg the most expensive women’s player with a €450,000 (£396,000/$492,000) offer this summer.
The amount would exceed the €400,000 (£352,000/$437,000) paid to Manchester City for Keira Walsh by the Catalan club at the beginning of the current campaign, as they seek to construct one of the most complete squads in world football. Hegerberg, who has spent nine years with the French side, is reportedly Barca’s number one target this summer, according to Marca.
The Spanish outlet continues that the Blaugrana want a deal done for the 27-year-old before the start of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. With 212 goals in 198 games for Lyon, Hegerberg is widely considered one of the most complete strikers on the planet. She would bring a number of key attributes that other forwards, such as Asisat Oshoala, Geyse Ferreira, Bruna Vilamala or Salma Paralluelo, don’t possess in the current Barca squad.
