Laia Cabetas, the young playmaker of Barça B, has signed with the Leaderbrock agency, the same one that represents figures such as Clara Serrajordi, Pedri and Xavi Espart. The agreement comes just when the player's contract with the club expires this summer, which opens the possibility that her future will be decided outside the Barça youth academy. Cabetas, born in Barcelona in 2009, has already demonstrated her quality in the team's first line, having made her debut in the Champions League against Paris FC and actively participating in the group stage of the tournament.
The signing occurs at a time in Cabetas' career in which his participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup stands out, where he has started the last two group games. His most memorable performance was in the 3‑1 victory over Chile, where he provided the decisive assist for the second goal. With the national team, the next appointment will be on the 29th of this month against the United States in the round of 16. The midfielder has been described as a demanding and hard-working player, and her career at the club reflects that commitment.
Since childhood, Cabetas has been immersed in soccer. Her father, who did not play professionally, instilled in her a love of the sport and supported her when, alone at home, she began practicing with the ball. Before joining the Barça school in the junior category, he was part of Sant Gabriel, where he trained alongside boys. His youth record includes one League with Barça B, another with Barça C, as well as two Leagues and two Catalunya Cups with the youth team and one League with the children's team. In 2025 she was runner-up in Spain with the Catalan team.
With Barça's contract ending this summer, the Leaderbrock agency has been tasked with managing Cabetas' transition to a new environment. The young woman, considered one of the brightest promises of the Barça youth academy, will have the opportunity to negotiate with clubs that value her potential and offer her a path to development at a professional level. The player's future, although uncertain, promises to continue being a topic of interest for followers of women's football and Barça fans.
The next step for Cabetas will be to decide if he will remain in the city of his childhood or seek new challenges in another club. Meanwhile, her World Cup participation and Champions League experience position her as one of the emerging figures in women's football, and her decision to sign with Leaderbrock could mark a new chapter in her career.
