Kerolin: From Amputation Threat to Barça Record Signing

Kerolin Nicoli, 26, overcame a childhood diagnosis of osteomyelitis that threatened amputation of her right leg before becoming a professional footballer. The Brazilian forward also faced doping sanctions and a cruciate ligament injury during her career.

Now she makes history by joining Barcelona as their record women's signing at €1.2 million from Manchester City. The transfer also sets a new record for a Brazilian female footballer. Kerolin has signed a contract until June 2030 and joins a Barcelona team entering a new phase under pressure to perform as a star player. sweetbonanza.qpon
