Kerolin: From Amputation Threat to Barca Record Signing

The 26-year-old Brazilian star has signed with Barcelona for €1.2 million from Manchester City, with a contract extending until June 2030. Her journey to becoming the most expensive female player in Barça's history includes overcoming significant obstacles - including a potentially career-ending bone infection at age 12 that could have resulted in amputation of her right leg.

'Never thought of giving up. Had to overcome fear and get back to what I love most,' Kerolin once shared about her early struggles. After recovering from the osteomyelitis, she later faced additional challenges through a doping suspension and a cruciate ligament rupture that kept her off the pitch for extended periods. turconews.click
