Manchester City ace Kerolin joins FC Barcelona | OneFootball

Manchester City forward Kerolin Nicoli has joined FC Barcelona on a permanent deal.

The Spanish club announced the news via a post on their official club website earlier today.

The 26-year-old has signed a four-year deal with Barcelona while it is understood that Manchester City have received a record transfer fee for the player.

Kerolin has spent the last 18 months with Manchester City after joining the club from American National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) side North Carolina Courage in January 2025. The forward has won the Barclays Women’s Super League title and Adobe Women’s FA Cup with The Cityzens. Kerolin netted nine goals in 15 league games last season as Manchester City ended their long wait to regain the Barclays Women’s Super League title.

The Brazil international has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona in recent weeks and that deal has now been completed. She will hope to help Barcelona to continue their dominance of Spanish and European club football during her time with the club.

Kerolin joins a Barcelona side that are going through something of a transition period. There have been a number of big departures at the club over the summer and a wave of new players coming in. Kerolin has big boots to fill upon her arrival in Spain.
