What is impact of Walsh's world-record transfer? (BBC Sport)

Keira Walsh plays in a position which usually goes unnoticed in football - but there is nothing under the radar about the world-record fee Barcelona have ...

Their midfield already boasts Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas, who is sidelined with a serious knee injury, as well as highly rated Spaniard Aitana Bonmati, who is set to make her 200th appearance for the club in a few weeks at the age of 24. Walsh is a playmaker from a deep midfield position when in possession, and a master of reading the game to shield the defence when out of possession. After winning every domestic title with City, and now a major trophy with England, all that is left is the Champions League - and City have not shown enough to be able to compete for it. City's elimination for a second successive season in the qualification rounds of the Champions League earlier this summer to Real Madrid meant Walsh would be denied the opportunity to play in the prestigious competition again. Walsh is irreplaceable, but City must fill the void and, in order to do so, they will need to lure a midfielder away from a rival - and that costs a lot of money. But the world-record fee for Walsh is significant as it shows even the top clubs are not immune to the risk of losing their best players to rivals who are now willing to spend.
