Man City lose forward Kerolin to Barcelona

Manchester City has lost their Brazilian forward Kerolin to Spanish giants Barcelona. The 26-year-old, who helped City win the Women's Super League title last season, has joined Barcelona on a contract extending through to 2030. Kerolin scored nine goals and provided five assists in 15 appearances during the season, including a hat-trick against Chelsea.

Reports suggest Barcelona paid a club record £1.3 million for the transfer. The 15-goal scorer for Brazil at international level will be a key player for the World Cup in Brazil next year. Barcelona has also lost other key players this summer, including Alexia Putellas and Mapi Leon. Manchester City has bolstered their attack with the signing of England's Beth Mead.
