Kerolin Nicoli transfer news: Man City forward joins Barcelona as Women's Super League's most expensive export

It's been brief. Kerolin only joined the Women's Super League from the NWSL 18 months ago. She now leaves as the English top-flight's most expensive export.

But Kerolin represents an exception to the rule. It's always been that way, from the start of her journey playing barefoot with boys on the streets of Sao Paulo. She was different. The ball hurt to kick, she confessed, but she did it anyway.
