Barcelona Signs Forward Kerolin From Man City in Record WSL Sale
Barcelona made Kerolin their biggest-ever women’s signing as they rebuild after several departures, with the fee rising to £1.5 million, the club said.
On Tuesday, FC Barcelona announced the signing of Brazil forward Kerolin Nicoli from Manchester City on a four-year contract, with the deal valued at €1.5 million .
The European champions bolstered their squad following significant departures this summer, including Alexia Putellas and Salma Paralluelo, after winning the Champions League and Liga F last season.
Media reports indicate the fee makes the 26-year-old the most expensive export from the Women's Super League, surpassing Canadian forward Olivia Smith's $1.34 million move to Arsenal last year.
Kerolin is the fourth summer addition for coach Pere Romeu, joining goalkeeper Tyler McCamey and defenders Renee Van Asten and Martina Fernàndez to strengthen the roster.
Barcelona remains committed to bringing "together the best players in world football" as the team begins their Liga F campaign against CD Tenerife on August 30.
