Man City Kerolin set for €1.5m Barcelona move as board signs off

Barcelona are set to close the deal for Manchester City forward Kerolin Nicoli after their board approved a transfer fee of up to €1.5 million on Wednesday, signalling the club’s intent to reinforce their attacking options as they look to replace a departing striker and improve depth ahead of the new season.

The transfer fee has been capped at €1.5 million, roughly $1.7 million, according to the board’s statement. Such an amount reflects Barcelona’s cautious spending amid financial constraints.

The board gave its approval on Wednesday, clearing the final administrative hurdle. Barcelona now anticipate completing the registration before the start of the new campaign.
