Liverpool Women Sign Poland Midfielder Emilia Szymczak on Loan from Barcelona

Liverpool FC Women have secured the signing of 19-year-old Polish midfielder Emilia Szymczak on a season-long loan from FC Barcelona for the 2025-26 campaign. Szymczak, who has 14 caps for Poland and featured at the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025, has primarily played for Barcelona’s B team since joining in 2023 but has also gained some exposure to the first team. She expressed enthusiasm about joining Liverpool, highlighting the club's rich history, strong league, and potential for her development. Versatile on the field, able to play both central midfield and center-back, Szymczak aims to bring leadership and confidence to the squad. Liverpool, aiming to improve on recent mid-table finishes and return to their historic success, have also bolstered their squad with other signings and are under the management of Gareth Taylor. The club and player alike are optimistic about the impact she will have during her loan spell.
