Barcelona Fans Hope for Linda Caicedo’s Transfer Following Meeting with Messi at Ballon d’Or Gala

The footballing world was abuzz when pictures of Real Madrid Women’s rising star, Linda Caicedo, posing with Lionel Messi at the Ballon d’Or gala, surfaced on social media. The Catalan supporters, known as Cules, are now rallying behind the idea of bringing Caicedo to play for Barca Femeni.

It’s evident that Linda is a devoted Messi fan, and her admiration for the Argentine superstar has not gone unnoticed by Barcelona’s enthusiastic fanbase. Their desire to see Caicedo don the Blaugrana jersey is palpable, with supporters fervently endorsing the prospect of her joining their ranks.

Social media reactions further highlight the sentiment among fans. Erasmus believes that Caicedo’s talent is undeniable but doubts her longevity at her current club. Smeet Patil draws attention to Caicedo’s Ballon d’Or nomination and hints at the contrast with another player’s recognition. Huncho Sparta expresses confidence that Caicedo’s preference leans toward Barcelona. Lennox underscores the sentiment that Caicedo deserves a brighter stage than her current club.

Interestingly, Barcelona had been tracking Linda Caicedo for a substantial three-year period. Despite their interest, they, along with Chelsea and Manchester City, eventually withdrew from the race for her signature. Linda officially joined Los Blancos on February 24, 2023, on a three-year contract, and her debut season showed glimpses of her potential with 2 goals and 4 assists in just 10 games. The question now lingers: Will Barcelona make another move to bring her to their squad?
