Record-Breaking Transfer Fee

According to reports, Barça signed Kerolin for €1.2 million, a figure that could rise to €1.5 million depending on performance bonuses. It's the highest transfer fee for a Brazilian player in women's football history, marking a significant milestone for both the club and women's football.

Prime Years Ahead at Camp Nou

The winger had an excellent 18 months at Man City after spending three years in the United States, and arrives at Barça entering her prime at the age of 26. Kerolin is a classic winger with great pace, dribbling and playmaking, and has a strong goal and assist record in every stop of her career.

Third Summer Signing

This is the third signing made by Barça Femení this summer, with young center-backs Martina Fernández and Renee Van Asten announced a couple of weeks ago. The club has been active in the transfer market despite losing some big names in this window.

Major Departures This Window

Barça have lost some big names in this window with the departures of Mapi León, Ona Batlle, Salma Paralluelo and the GOAT Alexia Putellas, but have made some smart signings so far and will remain very competitive next season.

The Catalan giants are clearly rebuilding strategically, bringing in young talent while securing an experienced winger in Kerolin who can make an immediate impact in attack.
