The women's transfer market is also starting to take shape for the 2026 season. Several new partnerships have been confirmed. Twenty Tenand some persistent rumors are now taking official form.

Bea González / Paula Josemaría: a highly anticipated pairing

This was one of the most talked-about pairings in recent weeks, and it's now confirmed: Bea González and Paola Josemaría will team up in 2026.

The two players have very complementary profiles. Bea González is coming off an exceptional end to the season, marked by a very high level of play. Alongside her, Paula Josemaría, an explosive left-hander and former world number 1 for three seasons, will try to regain the top of the rankings.

On paper, this association immediately stands out as a credible candidate for the number 1 spot in the world, with the clear ambition of shaking up the hierarchy from the very first major events of 2026.

Claudia Fernández / Sofia Araújo: Continuity and ambitions

The separation between Bea González and Claudia Fernández This logically leads to a reorganization. Claudia Fernández has chosen continuity and stability by partnering with Sofia Araújo.

The Portuguese player found herself free after the confirmation of the partnership between Andrea Ustero and Ari SánchezMeanwhile, Claudia Fernández is finishing the season on a very positive note. The two players know each other well from the tour and form a balanced pair, capable of competing with any pair.

Although other options had been considered, notably with Martina Calvo, Claudia Fernández opted for an immediately competitive project, with an experienced and consistent partner.

Martina Calvo / Marta Ortega: the experience-youth gamble

This is probably the association we least expected. Martina Calvo and Marta Ortega will team up in 2026.

While several scenarios were considered for the young Martina Calvo, her choice ultimately fell on Marta Ortegawho was going through a more difficult transfer window. Gradually sidelined from the plans of the very best players, Ortega finds here a new opportunity to revive her career alongside a player on the rise.

This pairing blends youth, intensity, and top-level experience. A duo that could quickly find its place among the best.

Players still waiting

These new partnerships logically leave some players without an official partner at this stage. This is particularly the case for Tamara Icardo, recently partnered with Marta Ortega, andAlejandra Salazarwho played with Martina Calvo.

An association Icardo / Salazar is now being considered and could be confirmed in the coming days.

The women's transfer market is still far from being completely set in stone, but these first confirmations already give a clearer idea of ​​the forces at play for the 2026 season.

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 !
