Le  women's transfer market  is shaping up to be even more eventful than the men's. With the near-official announcement of the new pair  Ari Sánchez / Andrea Ustero The top of the table could be profoundly reshaped in 2026. Several major players will have to reposition themselves, and some potential partnerships are already causing a stir on the circuit.

Sanchez/Ustero, the first major tremor

The divorce between  Ari Sánchez  et  Paula Josemaría  opened the first major breach.
Ari chose to partner with  Andrea Ustero An unprecedented duo blending experience and youth. An ambitious project… that leaves several players behind in search of a partner.

Ari Sánchez has found his future partner: she will join forces with Andrea Ustero in 2026

Josemaría / Bea González: the strongest rumor

Ari's departure forces  Paula Josemaría  to get back on track. And the most frequently mentioned possibility is explosive:
 Paula Josemaría + Bea González .
All the conditions seem to be in place:
• Game compatibility,
• complementary profiles,
• ambitions at the highest level.
And most importantly: Bea could hardly refuse such a call if Paula were to get in touch.
If this pair is confirmed, it would immediately become one of the pairs to watch in 2026.

The Claudia Fernández case: at the center of the transfer market

If Bea joins Josemaría,  Claudia Fernández  She would find herself alone… and much sought after.
Several credible options exist for the young player:

 • Sofía Araújo 
Released by the Ustero–Ari Sánchez association, it represents a natural choice: experience, power, complementarity.

 • Alejandra Alonso 
A young talent on the rise. An Alonso/Fernández pairing would be one of the most promising on the circuit.

 • Martina Calvo 
The most audacious option: two prodigies teamed up, an ultra-young but terribly ambitious pair.
If Calvo were to move up a level, she might choose Fernández.

Ortega / Icardo: stability at the top

There are few rumors surrounding  Marta Ortega / Tamara Icardo .
The duo is working, progressing, and should logically  continue together  in 2026.

What will become of Claudia Jensen?

If Alejandra Alonso leaves, Jensen must also reposition herself.
Several options are circulating:

•  Sofia Araújo , another major player available during the transfer window.
•  Martina Calvo , for a young, explosive and very ambitious pair.

And what about Alejandra Salazar in all of this?

If Calvo chooses a different path,  Ale Salazar  could find herself without a partner.
She then has several options:

•  Veronica Virseda , to reform an already proven association.
•  Alejandra Alonso , if the young Spanish woman does not leave with Fernández.
• Or a further down the rankings, to bring experience and support an ambitious player like  Carmen Goenaga  ou  Victoria Iglesias .

A women's transfer market more open than ever

Between Ari's departure, the possible Josemaría/Bea partnership, the numerous options surrounding Claudia Fernández, and the future of Jensen or Salazar, the women's draw could see a major shake-up.  rebalancing .
The official announcements are expected around the  Barcelona Finals , or even right after.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
