Ada Hegerberg’s agency meets with Barca representatives and rekindles the never-ending story of her move to Barca | Relief
Ada Hegerberg and Barça. Barça and Ada Hegerberg. Like the love that remains despite time and distance, the Barça club and the player have represented for several years what I want and what I cannot. In moments when interest on one side wanes more than on the other, the attempt to sign the first woman to win the Ballon d’Or for the Catalan team continues unabated. In this regard, as it became known to Relevo, the representative of the Norwegian striker, among other players, He is in Barcelona and met with the Kule club. A meeting in which there was nothing formal, but rather a different approach through which the flame is kept alive and in which various topics will be discussed. Or, what is the same thing, it was not about the player or her possible signing as a Barça player.
A few months before the end of her contract with Olympique Lyonnais, Ada has not yet decided on her future. While she collects the daisy, her agency is testing all options, and Lyon is looking for ways to retain her, since she is a key figure in the French team. In fact, the periods in which they did not achieve much success coincided with injuries or adaptation of the Norwegian. Since his arrival, he has not missed a league, with the exception of the 2020/21 season, the first to be hampered by injury.
As for the Women’s Champions League, Lyon have not won the title three times since Ada came into their dressing room: 2014/15, his first season (2014–15), injury (2020–21) and return from recovery in 2022–23.where he missed the group stage and the first leg of the quarter-finals – in the return match he played 70 minutes when Lyon scored 2 goals.
Among the possible options would be Barca, after their arrivals have disappointed several times in the recent past. From 2019, when the first contacts were made, to a record signing that was not completed in 2022 after the French club did not allow her to leave, or a timid approach last year after Lyon’s elimination from the Champions League.
Frustrated signing… for money
In the latter case, the problem that prevented him from signing with Barça was money. Not only because of his transfer, having to pay a clause to Lyon, which was not going to pave the way for his departure, but also because of his stellar salary. The current top scorer in the Champions League (64 goals, 13 more than second, Mittag) has one of the biggest contracts in Europe. and this barrier, economic, is intended to be key when considering a possible move to Barça in the future. First of all, taking into account the poor economic situation of the structure headed by Joan Laporta.
Conversations and good relations between Hegerberg’s representation agency and Barça have remained in good harmony in recent years. The Catalan club took the lead after the Champions League final in 2019.. Lyon then defeated the culé team, which was making its debut in the European final. In the match with a score of 4:1, the main protagonist was Ada, who scored a hat-trick. In fact, she was named MVP of the meeting held in Budapest.
First woman to win the Ballon d’Or
A few months earlier, Hegerberg had become the first player to win the Ballon d’Or, and at the same time she became an example of the fight for equality, withdrawing from the World Cup in France to demand improvements and greater equality. in the conditions between men and women in football in their country. He achieved this by taking a large number of measures in this direction and returned to the Norwegian jersey in 2022, ahead of the European Championships in England.
Now the player is faced with a key moment. After overcoming a difficult period due to injuries, Ada Hegerberg resumed her scoring streak this season. For now, scores 19 goals in 18 games, with multiple gears and momentum from smaller to larger in his return to possession. Moreover, she reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and wants to continue to show her love for this competition, in which no one in history has scored more goals than her.
With an enviable track record (8 Leagues, 6 Cups, 6 Champions Leagues and 3 Super Cups) and a reigning legend of European women’s football, Ada Hegerberg is returning to her best level. He never lost a goal, using every appearance to add to his personal account. And the Norwegian forward is a real asset in this zone. His enormous size, his unerring precision and his hunger for goals make him one of the most decisive number nines in the world. Who knows whether we will ever see her at Barça or not. At the moment it is just a wish that has never disappeared on the part of the current Olympique Lyonnais player.
