Barça made official this Wednesday the continuity of Claudia Pina, who will wear the Blaugrana shirt for at least the next three seasons. At 21 years old, the footballer from Montcada is ready to continue growing in the club of her life: “I've always been a culé, it shows. I have a very great feeling and I hope to continue here for many more years ”, she assured the club media.
After going through all the club's categories, Pina became the youngest footballer to debut with the first team in 2018, at just 16 years and 5 months old –a record that has been surpassed this season by Vicky López-. "The challenge is to try to grow even more, to continue contributing as much as possible and to help each party in whatever way I can," she stated.
His projection, especially in recent months, has been incredible. His task was not easy at all, replacing Alexia in the midfield and he has not only fulfilled a note as an interior player, he has also generated a lot of danger playing on the wing as a false winger. This season she is the second top scorer in the Barcelona League (9) behind Oshoala (18), and the third with the most assists (6).
In addition to the Blaugrana team, Pina has also played for Sevilla, on loan. In the Andalusian team she became the undisputed starter and top scorer of the team. International with Spain from the lower categories, she was part of the under-17 team that was proclaimed world champion in 2018 in Uruguay. A tournament in which Pina was named the Ballon d'Or and the Silver Boot. She is currently one of the 15 internationals who have given up the senior team to get improvements in the Federation.
With Claudia Pina's, Barça will have completed the renewal of seven players, leaving only Bruna Vilamala's, whose contract ends on June 30, on the table. Four of them -Pina, Cata Coll, Rolfö and Graham Hansen- have extended their commitment to the club for the next three seasons, while Engen, Jana Fernández and Paredes will remain linked to Barça for two more years. A renewal policy that leaves all the chips complete for the next season, so if you want to reinforce the team with a signing, you will have to release a player.
