Judit Pujols: Wolves sign U19 European champion from Barcelona!
An exciting chapter in women's football opens with the signing of Judit Pujols by VfL Wolfsburg. The 20-year-old defender, who comes from FC Barcelona, was offered a contract until June 30, 2028. She will wear the shirt number 33 in the future and is the Wolves' eleventh new addition this summer. Ralf Kellermann, the director of women's football at Wolfsburg, is optimistic about Pujols' talent and potential, which should only fuel fans' hopes. As OneFootball reports, Pujols has been through Barcelona's youth system since 2019 and can look back on an impressive record.
In the 2022/2023 season she made an impressive 76 appearances for FC Barcelona's second team and was then called up to the first team. There she not only played in the Spanish league, but was also in action in the UEFA Women's Champions League. Her successes are remarkable: she won the World Cup title with the Spanish U17s in 2022, and as captain she led the U19s to further successes at the European Championships in 2023 and 2024. She was also allowed to appear in Spain's U23 team for the first time in April 2025. Her footballing speed and technique are certainly highly valued at Wolfsburg, especially after she was on the pitch in the Champions League game against the Wolves. Sport1 highlights that the Wolves have been watching Pujols for two years.
A new wind for the FC women
While Wolfsburg is providing a breath of fresh air on the defensive, 1. FC Cologne is also busy. The FC women have signed Merle Hokamp from FSV Gütersloh, who recently attracted attention in the German U19 national team. Hokamp, only 18 years old, has already gained experience in the 2nd Bundesliga and comes to Cologne with a contract until June 30, 2027. Nicole Bender-Rummler, head of women's and girls' football at 1. FC Köln, describes her as one of the greatest defensive talents of her year in Germany. She played 33 games last season and scored three goals, which is not exactly common for a defender. After all, she received the Fritz Walter Gold Medal in the U17 class.
The first discussions with those responsible in Cologne were very positive, and Hokamp is enthusiastic about 1. FC Cologne. She would like to develop further here and gain experience in order to get playing time in the first division. The premier league environment could prove to be a real springboard for their talent. Given the developments at both Wolfsburg and Cologne, the tension in the women's Bundesliga is high. The fans can look forward to an exciting season in which the new talents will prove themselves.
The signings of Judit Pujols and Merle Hokamp could be the start of many more exciting matches and talents in the league to clash in the coming months.
