Man City lose forward Kerolin to Barcelona

Manchester City has lost their Brazilian forward Kerolin to Barcelona, the club announced. The 26-year-old, who played a pivotal role in City's recent WSL title success, will now join the Spanish giants on a contract through 2030. Kerolin, who scored nine goals and provided five assists in 15 WSL matches last season, including a hat-trick against Chelsea, is expected to replace England's Beth Mead at Barcelona.

The transfer fee of around £1.3 million is reportedly the highest paid for a female Brazilian player. Meanwhile, City have bolstered their attack with the signing of England's Beth Mead.
