Football star Alexia Putellas safe after Venezuela earthquakes

Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas has confirmed her safety in Caracas following powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela. The Spanish footballer was in the Venezuelan capital as part of a charitable and educational initiative organized by her foundation, Eleven.

"Hello everyone. Given the earthquakes that occurred yesterday in Venezuela, I want to communicate that my family and I are safe in Caracas," Putellas posted on Instagram on Thursday. She expressed gratitude for the messages of concern and offered her condolences to all Venezuelans and affected families facing this tragedy.

Putellas, 32, was participating in events for her foundation when the tremors hit. The earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude, caused widespread panic, collapsed numerous buildings, and triggered power outages. The most affected regions included the capital, Caracas, and the La Guaira region.

Meanwhile, Putellas is also making headlines in Spain regarding her future career. Reports suggest she is close to finalizing a move to English club London City Lionesses. She is currently without a team for the upcoming season, having concluded her 14-year tenure with FC Barcelona in May, a period during which she won 30 titles, including four UEFA Women's Champions League titles and ten Spanish Liga F championships.
