Barcelona have signed Brazilian forward Kerolin from Manchester City for an undisclosed fee that sources say is around £1.25 million. The transfer, announced by Sport | The Guardian, is a club‑record for Barcelona and the largest sale a Women’s Super League side has ever received.
According to Sport | The Guardian, the fee would eclipse the £1 million Liverpool received for Olivia Smith’s 2025 move to Arsenal and Melvine Malard’s £850,000 switch from Manchester United to Chelsea. Kerolin’s arrival marks Barcelona’s highest‑priced acquisition in the women's team’s history.
The deal signals the increasing financial competitiveness of women's football across Europe, with top clubs willing to invest significant sums for talent.
