Bonamati began his career playing in the boys' league and joined Barcelona at the age of 11. He has made 275 appearances for the club so far and scored a club-record 96 goals in all competitions, reports Xinhua.

The attacking midfielder, who led Spain to victory at the 2023 World Cup, would have been out of contract next summer and is attracting interest from other clubs. To satisfy that interest, Barcelona have reportedly made her the highest-paid female footballer in the world.

Bonamati has been crucial for Barcelona in winning the last five women's league titles in Spain and she scored the first goal in last season's Champions League 2-0 win against Lyon.

FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or winner Bonamati has also been a key player for Spain, playing a key role in their recent success on the international stage.
