Kerolin Absence Before Barcelona Move

Published August 6, 2026 · Updated August 6, 2026 · The Guardian

Kerolin failed to report for pre-season training at Manchester City in July before her transfer to Barcelona had been agreed, leaving the WSL champions taken aback by the forward's absence.

Barcelona announced their signing of the 26-year-old Brazil forward on Tuesday, but Manchester City did not make any reference to the transfer until Thursday evening. The club eventually confirmed they had received a WSL record fee for the sale more than 48 hours after Barcelona's announcement.

The situation highlights the unusual nature of the transfer, with City waiting two days before acknowledging the deal despite Kerolin's absence from training before the move was officially finalized. djcc.club
