Barcelona has broken the club record for the most expensive footballer.

Barcelona has signed Brazilian forward Kerolin on a contract until 2030, paying Manchester City €1.2 million plus bonuses, which breaks the club's record for the most expensive female transfer in their history. Kerolin had a strong season with Manchester City, scoring ten goals in 19 matches despite missing part of the season due to injury. Barcelona, already a dominant force in Spanish football and European champions, aims to strengthen their squad further. However, this transfer does not surpass the overall record for the most expensive women’s football transfer, which remains held by French player Grace Geyoro, who moved from PSG to London Lionesses for €1.65 million last summer.
