Barcelona has rejected a record-breaking offer from Arsenal in women's football

London Arsenal aimed to make waves in the football world with the most high-profile and expensive transfer in the history of women's football.

Details: Arsenal made a record-breaking offer for England midfielder Keira Walsh, but it was rejected in the final days of the Women's Super League transfer window. According to BBC, the Gunners offered £930,000 for Walsh, but the bid was turned down. This transfer was set to become the most expensive in women's football history.

Recall: The 27-year-old British player is under contract with Barcelona, which expires in a year, but the European champions refused to part ways with her. Walsh has already informed the Blaugrana that she does not plan to extend her contract next summer, potentially leading to her departure for free if the club cannot convince her to stay.

Additional: Walsh joined Barcelona in 2022 from Manchester City for a then-record fee of £400,000. The most expensive transfer was later recorded when Zambian footballer Rachael Kundananji moved from Madrid to Bay San Francisco for £685,000 in February.
