Alexia Putellas Net Worth 2026: $5-7 Million Estimated

Alexia Putellas headshot

Alexia Putellas’s net worth is estimated at $5–7 million as of October 2026. That range comes from published aggregator estimates — around $5 million from SportsDunia and around $7 million from SportsBouncer — and there is no Forbes, Bloomberg or Hurun valuation for her. Her wealth is built on club salaries across a 14-year Barcelona career, her 2026 move to London City Lionesses, and endorsement deals. Last updated: October 2026.

Who is Alexia Putellas?

Alexia Putellas is a Spanish professional footballer, born on 4 February 1994, who plays as a midfielder for London City Lionesses and the Spain national team. She spent 14 seasons at Barcelona, scoring 232 goals in 508 appearances and winning the Ballon d’Or Féminin in 2021, 2022 and 2026. Read her full story in Alexia Putellas’s biography.

How Alexia Putellas made her money

  • Club salaries — the main source. Fourteen seasons at Barcelona, where she rose from youth prospect to captain and the club’s all-time top scorer, followed by a three-year London City Lionesses contract signed in July 2026.
  • Endorsements. SportsDunia names Nike, Oakley and Hublot among her sponsors. No verified values for individual endorsement deals have been published, so none are priced here.
  • Bonuses and prize money. Champions League, league and World Cup success brought team bonuses over her career, but no verified per-player bonus figures are published.
  • Not counted. Transfer fees are paid to clubs, not players, and are never wealth — her July 2026 move to London City was a free transfer in any case. No verified property or investment figures exist for her, so none are included.

The salary dispute: why reports disagree

Published reports of Putellas’s London City Lionesses salary conflict sharply, and neither figure should be treated as settled. Flashscore reported in July 2026 that her salary exceeded €1.7 million per year, making her the highest-paid female footballer in the world. OneFootball, citing a source familiar with the deal, reported instead that she had earned approximately €750,000 per year at Barcelona and that her London City base salary would remain below €1 million per year, with performance-related bonuses able to increase her overall earnings.

The gap matters because salary is the largest single component of her wealth. Until the club or a reputable financial outlet confirms a figure, any net-worth total built on one salary report alone would be guesswork — which is why this article reports a range rather than a single number.

Career earnings timeline

  • 2010–2012: Senior debut at Espanyol aged 16, then a breakout season at Levante (15 goals in 34 games) — early-career wages in a women’s game that was only beginning to professionalise; Barcelona Femení turned professional in 2015.
  • 2012–2021: Fourteen-season Barcelona career begins; league titles accumulate, and her 2021 Ballon d’Or Féminin win lifts her commercial value sharply.
  • 2021–2022: Back-to-back Ballon d’Or wins and The Best FIFA Women’s Player awards — her peak endorsement years, with Nike, Oakley and Hublot sponsorships named by SportsDunia.
  • July 2022 – April 2023: ACL injury and ten-month rehabilitation; she still won the 2022 Ballon d’Or despite missing Euro 2022.
  • 2023–2026: World Cup winner with Spain in 2023; further Champions League titles in 2024 and 2026; captained Barcelona’s quadruple in her final season, 2025–26.
  • July 2026: Signs a three-year contract with London City Lionesses on a free transfer; debuts in September 2026.
  • 26 October 2026: Wins a third Ballon d’Or Féminin at the London Palladium, equalling Aitana Bonmatí’s record.

How this estimate was made (methodology)

No Forbes, Bloomberg or Hurun estimate exists for Alexia Putellas, and this article invents none. The $5–7 million headline range is simply the span of the two published 2026 aggregator estimates found: SportsDunia at around $5 million and SportsBouncer at around $7 million. SportsBouncer also publishes an approximate $12–15 million figure for her career earnings from wages and endorsements — that is gross career earnings, not wealth, and it has not been added to the net-worth range. Salary reports for her London City contract conflict (over €1.7 million per year versus below €1 million base plus bonuses), so no salary figure is used to anchor a single total. Endorsement brands are named without values because no verified deal values are published. If a reputable financial outlet publishes a verified valuation, this page should be updated and the range replaced.

Frequently asked questions

What is Alexia Putellas’s net worth?

Alexia Putellas’s net worth is estimated at $5–7 million as of October 2026, based on published aggregator estimates of around $5 million (SportsDunia) and around $7 million (SportsBouncer). There is no Forbes, Bloomberg or Hurun valuation for her.

How did Alexia Putellas make her money?

Putellas made her money mainly from club salaries during 14 seasons at Barcelona and her current London City Lionesses contract, plus endorsement deals with brands including Nike, Oakley and Hublot. No verified values for individual endorsement deals are published.

What is Alexia Putellas’s salary at London City Lionesses?

Reports disagree: Flashscore claimed over €1.7 million per year, while OneFootball, citing a source familiar with the deal, reported a base salary below €1 million per year plus performance bonuses. Neither figure is confirmed, so her salary should be treated as unverified.

Is Alexia Putellas the highest-paid female footballer in the world?

That claim was made by Flashscore when her London City move was announced, but it rests on the disputed over-€1.7 million salary figure. Other reporting puts her base salary below €1 million, so the “highest-paid” title cannot be confirmed from published sources.

How much did Alexia Putellas earn at Barcelona?

OneFootball reported she earned approximately €750,000 per year at Barcelona before her 2026 move. No official salary figure has been published by the club, so that remains a reported estimate rather than a confirmed fact.
