Chelsea Signs England Midfielder Keira Walsh from Barcelona on Four-and-a-Half-Year Deal

Walsh returns to the Women's Super League after a successful stint at Barcelona, joining Chelsea's title-chasing squad.

Keira Walsh, 27, has joined Chelsea from Barcelona, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract through 2029.
The transfer fee was reported as £400,000, matching the record fee Walsh commanded when moving to Barcelona in 2022.
Walsh cited a desire to be closer to family and friends as a key factor in her decision to return to England.
At Barcelona, Walsh won eight trophies, including two Champions League titles, and reunites with England teammate Lucy Bronze at Chelsea.
Chelsea, currently leading the Women's Super League by seven points, aims to secure a sixth consecutive league title and its first Women's Champions League trophy.
