Brazilian star Kerolin is about to make history in the transfer market, headlining the most expensive deal in Brazilian women’s football as she moves to the giant Barcelona.
The international women’s football market is witnessing a historic moment with the transfer of Brazilian forward Kerolin. According to information from Forbes, the player is on the verge of finalizing her move from Manchester City to Barcelona. The deal, estimated at 1.5 million euros (approximately 8.6 million Brazilian Reais), places the athlete at the top of the ranking for signings of Brazilian players.
A Record-Breaking Fee in the Women’s Game
The negotiation between the two European giants redefines the financial standards for the sport. If completed, the transfer will surpass the previous record set in October 2025, when Amanda Gutierres left Palmeiras for Boston Legacy for 1.1 million dollars. Beyond becoming the most expensive sale of a Brazilian player, the operation marks the largest transaction in Manchester City history for the sport and the most robust investment ever made by Barcelona for a new signing.
“Barcelona has reached a verbal agreement to sign the Brazilian, and the parties are now finalizing the exchange of documents before the official signing of the contract,” the publication noted.
Career Projections and Next Steps
At 26 years old, Kerolin is at the peak of her professional career. After a successful stint in English football, where she won the FA Cup, the forward has established herself as a key piece in the Brazil national team structure. Her contract with the Catalan club will span four seasons, highlighting the club’s confidence in her technical potential.
Expectations are now centered on her official release from Manchester City. The athlete is expected to travel to Spain later this week to undergo medical examinations and sign her new contract. With this new challenge, the forward is also focusing her energy on the cycle leading up to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, an event that promises to be the peak of her athletic maturity wearing the yellow jersey.
