Chelsea midfielder Julia Bartel is closing in on a move to Italian club Juventus this summer.
The Spain youth international joined Chelsea from Barcelona in July 2024, signing a three-year deal, with an option to extend for an additional year.
However, the 22-year-old has struggled to cement her place at Chelsea, making just two appearances in two years.
She spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid following a six-month spell at Liverpool in 2025.
During her time in Spain, she notched up 43 appearances, scoring six goals and started 15 of their Liga F matches.
Bartel is expected to finalise a move to Juventus in the next few days, helping them replace midfielder Lia Walti, who joined Brighton earlier this month.
Juventus finished third in Serie A last season and were knocked out of the Women’s Champions League knockout stage play-offs by Wolfsburg.
