- Published
Liverpool have signed midfielder Julia Bartel on loan from fellow Women's Super League side Chelsea until the end of the season.
The Spanish Under-23 international joined the Blues on a three-year deal from Barcelona last summer.
She played every game as Spain won the Under-20 World Cup in 2022.
Bartel said: "I'm very happy to be here in Liverpool in a big club and I'm looking forward to starting.
"I think Liverpool is one of the big teams in this league and I think the style of play of this club can be great for me and I'm so excited to start the season here.
"It's been a change in my career in a new country but I'm happy here, it's a new league, a different league from Spain and I think I'm adapting here."
On what Liverpool fans can expect from her, she added: "I'm a player who wants to have the ball, an assertive player and I want to give these things to a team.
"I want to enjoy the training and matches with the team, to help and to win as many matches as possible with this team."
