Here’s the latest update from the 2026 FIFA World Cup as of 2026-07-29 22:39:00.
Barcelona is set to finalize the transfer of forward Kerolin Nicoli from Manchester City after the club’s board sanctioned a deal worth up to €1.5 million ($1.7 million) on Wednesday.
New Signing for Barcelona
The 26-year-old Brazilian international will be the fourth summer signing for Barcelona, following goalkeeper Tyler McCamey and defenders Renee Van Asten and Martina Fernández.
Negotiations to secure Kerolin’s services have been ongoing for several weeks, culminating in a vote by the board during a meeting on Wednesday. The club announced, “The imminent addition of a new women’s football first team player will be communicated once the operation is confirmed.”
Kerolin’s Impressive Track Record
Kerolin had a stellar season with Manchester City, contributing to the team’s Women’s Super League and FA Cup double while scoring 10 goals in 19 appearances.
She joined City in 2025 after a successful stint with North Carolina Courage in the United States and has previously played for Madrid CFF in Spain, as well as clubs in her home country, including Palmeiras and Ponte Preta.
Despite the transfer, Manchester City remains optimistic about bolstering their squad for the upcoming Women’s Champions League season. Kerolin’s signing continues Barcelona’s busy summer, particularly important after several key players departed at the end of last season.
High-profile exits include Alexia Putellas and Mapi León to London City Lionesses, Ona Batlle to Arsenal, and Salma Paralluelo to OL Lyonnes. In addition, Barcelona is planning a friendly against Manchester City on August 15 in England.
