Great news. Can't wait for the women to start playing again.A bit of background on her. She's 21, a fullback and she's already a full international for Spain. She comes very highly rated - with Real Madrid and Barcelona (her birthplace and her youth club) in for her.
Her contract with Levante ended at the end of June, but the club put a 500k Euros "training fee" price tag on her - a figure way beyond anything you ever see as a transfer fee in the women's game. Fortunately for us, those training compensation clauses only apply to to other Spanish clubs. The amounts being set in the compensation clauses are now being contested in the courts in Spain but that could take a while and Ona preferred to move rather than gamble on the outcome/timing of those cases.
She's signed a 2 year (+1) contract, so hopefully we'll have time to convince her that Manchester has more to offer than just rain.
It would be lovely if Eva did come, she's another real talent and I'm sure it would help them both to settle in.Great stuff! Eva Navarro to follow?
Can't help but feel she'll be off to Barcelona/Madrid in a year, but looking forward to see how she does here.

That sucks. Guessing we can't get an exemption like Liverpool managed to get from the FA?It looks like Ona will be subject to the standard 14 day quarantine on her return to the UK. Vamos a ver.
Pernille Harder apparently didn't need to quarantine when she arrived at Chelsea. The Wolfsburg bubble/testing gave her a dispensation despite being in Spain for the WCL.That sucks. Guessing we can't get an exemption like Liverpool managed to get from the FA?
