Bronze out of contract at Barca this summer'Better offers' to come amid England and U.S. rumoursBut Lionesses star wants to stay in CatalunyaWHAT HAPPENED?
The England defender is out of contract in Catalunya this summer and there has been mass speculation over whether or not she will renew. That's mainly because of the financial side of things. Barca have regulations to comply with and Bronze is one of their top earners. Plus, the club has just tied two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas down to a new contract which came at a significant cost.

However, the club is eager to overcome those challenges and keep Bronze. Though her first season at the club was tricky in parts, the 32-year-old has showcased what a valuable asset she can be this year. While Barca have had to deal with injuries in defence, she has stepped up, provided solidity at right-back and delivered some impressive performances to help her team win an historic quadruple.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
Speaking on Catalunya Radio, journalist Rut Vilar discussed Bronze's situation as her contract nears its expiry. "The player will have better offers abroad than at Barca," she said. "She wants to continue and will not only look at the financial issue. Barca also wants her to continue."
DID YOU KNOW?
There have been rumours of interest in Bronze from England and the United States, with her certainly not to be short of options if things do not work out when it comes to staying with the European champions.
