Forward Lieke Martens confirms Barcelona exit ahead of PSG transfer
The Dutch forward will move to France when he contract expires at the end of the month
Barcelona forward Lieke Martens has confirmed she will leave the Catalan club when her contract expires at the end of the month.
Martens, 29, is now expected to sign for Paris Saint-Germain, as previously revealed by Diario Sport, after five years at Barça following her arrival from Rosengard.
During her time at the club, the Dutch international won three league titles, one Champions League, three Copas de la Reina and was also named FIFA The Best Women's Player.
"After five beautiful years at this fantastic club in this beautiful city I have decided to part ways with the club and start a new adventure," she confirmed on Instagram.
"I came to FC Barcelona in a time that the club started an ambitious project to become a leader in the world of women’s football. We worked hard and I believe that we achieved the goals set 5 years ago.
"Winning the Champions League was an absolute highlight as well as winning the FIFA Worlds Best Player Award as a player of Barca. However I consider my time at Barca as my most precious achievement of the last five years and it's been great to be part of this club's history.
"It’s time for another adventure and I want to thank the club, coaches, fans and of course all my teammates that have supported me to become the player I am today. Thank you for all your support and love, all the best and see you all soon again!"
