Kerolin Beats Odds to Become Barca Record Signing

Kerolin Nicoli, 26, was diagnosed with osteomyelitis at age 12, a bone infection that threatened amputation of her right leg. Despite this setback and later challenges including a doping suspension and cruciate ligament rupture, she has reinvented herself to become the most expensive signing in Barcelona women's team history.

The Brazilian forward joins Barcelona until June 2030, setting a transfer record for a Brazilian female footballer. She arrives amid a new phase for the club's women's team, carrying the pressure of a star signing as she looks to integrate quickly into the squad. sport-newz.biz
