London City Lionesses have signed Barcelona midfielder Lucia Corrales and are continuing talks with Paris St-Germain midfielder Grace Geyoro on a busy transfer deadline day.
The Women’s Super League newcomers activated Spain international Corrales’ release clause of around £430,000. They have now paid the fourth highest transfer fee in WSL history.
The 19-year-old, who made her full international debut in March but was not called up for Euro 2025, joins on a four-year deal and becomes London City’s 15th permanent signing of the summer.

Meanwhile, London City are looking to complete a huge move for France international Geyoro, who has won 103 caps.
