Juventus Women have officially confirmed the signing of Alba Redondo, with the Spanish international becoming the latest addition to Massimiliano Canzi’s squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The experienced forward arrives from Real Madrid after two seasons in the Spanish capital, ending a career spent entirely in her homeland. Now, for the first time, Redondo will test herself outside Spain as she looks to help Juventus challenge for major honours both domestically and in Europe.

It is a significant signing for the Bianconere. Redondo brings proven quality, valuable experience and a winning mentality to a squad that continues to evolve under Canzi. Having already succeeded at both club and international level, she arrives in Turin determined to make an immediate impact.

A Career Built on Hard Work

Redondo’s journey to Juventus hasn’t happened overnight Born in Albacete, she came through the ranks at Fundación Albacete before establishing herself as one of Spain’s brightest attacking talents. She quickly became the face of her hometown club, regularly delivering goals despite playing in teams that often found themselves battling near the bottom of the table.

Her performances eventually earned her a move to Levante, where her career reached another level. At Levante, Redondo developed into one of the most feared strikers in Liga F. Her movement inside the penalty area, intelligent positioning and calm finishing helped her consistently rank among the league’s top goalscorers.

The 2022/23 campaign proved to be the standout season of her career. Redondo finished as Liga F’s top scorer with 27 league goals, cementing her place among Spain’s elite forwards and attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

That impressive form led to a transfer to Real Madrid, where she spent the past two seasons competing in both Liga F and the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Although competition for places was intense, Redondo continued to demonstrate the qualities that had made her one of Spain’s most reliable attackers. Now, Juventus are hoping those qualities can translate into success in Italy.

A New Adventure Begins

Leaving your home country after spending an entire career there is never an easy decision. For Redondo, though, the opportunity to join Juventus was simply too good to turn down. Speaking after completing the move, she admitted she was excited to begin this new chapter and couldn’t wait to get started.

Those were among her very first words as a Juventus player. It’s a simple statement, but one that immediately resonates with supporters. Rather than focusing on personal milestones or individual statistics, Redondo made it clear that her priority is helping the team succeed and giving the Juventus faithful something to celebrate.

She also praised the club’s ambition, history and winning mentality, explaining that those factors played a huge role in convincing her to make the move to Turin. Juventus have built a reputation as one of Europe’s leading women’s teams over the past decade, and Redondo believes she is joining a club capable of competing for every trophy available.

What Redondo Will Add to the Squad

Juventus supporters already know they’re signing an experienced international, but Alba Redondo offers much more than that. She’s a striker who thrives inside the penalty area. Her instinctive finishing and ability to anticipate where the ball will fall have made her one of the most clinical forwards in Spanish football over the past several seasons.

She’s also an intelligent footballer. Rather than relying purely on pace or physicality, Redondo constantly looks to exploit space between defenders. Her movement creates opportunities not only for herself but also for teammates making supporting runs.

Another major strength is her versatility. Although naturally a centre-forward, she’s equally comfortable drifting into wider positions or linking play between midfield and attack. That flexibility gives Canzi several tactical options throughout the season.

Her work rate shouldn’t be overlooked either. Redondo has built her career on commitment as much as talent. She’s known for pressing defenders, tracking back when required and constantly working for the team, qualities that fit perfectly with Juventus’ style of play.

International Experience Matters

One of the biggest advantages Redondo brings is her experience on the international stage. She has represented Spain for several years and was part of the squad that won the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023, one of the greatest achievements in Spanish football history.

Competing alongside world-class players in major tournaments has helped shape her into the player she is today. She’s experienced high-pressure knockout matches, title races and finals. She knows what it takes to win. For a Juventus side that expects to compete for silverware every season, having players with that mentality is invaluable.

A Squad Built to Compete

Juventus Women continue to show their ambition in the transfer market. The club’s recruitment strategy has focused on adding experienced players who can make an immediate difference while also helping younger members of the squad develop.

Alba Redondo fits that profile perfectly. She arrives with hundreds of senior appearances, an outstanding goalscoring record and experience of competing in some of Europe’s biggest matches.

Her leadership could prove just as important as her goals over the course of a long season. Whether she’s starting matches or coming off the bench, Redondo is the type of player capable of changing games with a single moment of quality.

Looking Ahead

Every transfer brings excitement, but there is genuine reason for optimism surrounding this one. Alba Redondo has spent years proving herself in Spain. She arrives in Turin at a stage of her career where she combines experience with the hunger to achieve even more.

There will naturally be an adjustment period as she adapts to Italian football, new teammates and a different style of play. However, her track record suggests she has all the tools needed to settle quickly. Juventus fans will be eager to see what she can produce in black and white, and Redondo seems equally excited to get started. Her first message to supporters summed everything up perfectly.

If she can bring the same goalscoring touch, determination and winning mentality that defined her career in Spain, there’s every chance she’ll do exactly that.

For Juventus, this is another important step in building a squad capable of competing for every trophy. For Alba Redondo, it’s the beginning of an exciting new chapter—one she will be hoping ends with goals, silverware and unforgettable memories in Turin.
