New Goalkeeper Joins the European Champions
Barcelona announced the addition of 24-year-old American goalkeeper Tyler McCamey to its women’s squad. The Atlanta native, a Princeton graduate, made 15 appearances for Dallas Trinity FC last season before moving to Spain. He will serve as a backup to Spain’s world-champion keeper Cata Coll.
Financial Pressures Prompt Roster Turnover
The club’s recent statement linked a series of high-profile exits to ongoing financial difficulties. In the weeks preceding McCamey’s signing, two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas, defenders Mapi León and Ona Battle, and forward Salma Paralluelo all left the team. The departures reflect Barcelona’s effort to reduce wage commitments after winning a fourth Champions League title in six seasons.
Additional Squad Moves
Alongside McCamey, Barcelona secured Dutch defender Renee van Asten from Ajax. The club also extended forward Caroline Graham Hansen’s contract for two more seasons, indicating a blend of new talent and retained core players.
Club Outlook
Barcelona’s official communication emphasized that the new signings aim to maintain competitive depth while addressing fiscal constraints. The club highlighted McCamey’s collegiate background and recent playing experience as assets for squad rotation and development. No further details on contract length or salary were disclosed.
