Barcelona have prised Brazilian forward Kerolin away from Manchester City in a deal worth approximately £1.25m - the highest fee a Women's Super League club has ever pocketed.
The move eclipses the previous WSL record set when Olivia Smith swapped Liverpool for Arsenal last summer for around £1m. Not bad for a league that keeps raising its own bar.
Barca had little choice but to break their own self-imposed £500k transfer ceiling. The Catalan giants lost key figures Alexia Putellas and Mapi Leon to London City Lionesses this summer, leaving gaps that needed filling - fast.
For context, Barcelona's previous priciest purchase was Keira Walsh, who arrived in 2022 for €470,000 (roughly £400,000). So yes, this is a significant upgrade in spending habits, as Sky Sports reports.
Kerolin joined Manchester City in January last year and wasted no time making an impact, netting nine goals in 15 league outings. Her contribution helped City clinch their first WSL title since 2016.
She still had two years left on her contract, which tells you everything about how determined Barcelona were to get this done.
