NWSL MVP Kerolin’s move to Manchester City could reshape the Women’s Super League | OneFootball

Brazilian national team forward Kerolin will make a serious step in her career as she joins Manchester City. Following three seasons in North Carolina Courage, the 25-year-old player lands in Europe as one of the biggest names in women's soccer at this moment. Transferring on a free transfer to City gives the club a rare opportunity to sign the player and the player a rare opportunity.

Kerolin's impact in the NWSL and recognition as MVP

Kerolin left her mark on the North Carolina Courage and women's soccer in the United States. In 2023, she reached the height of her NWSL career when she was named the league's Most Valuable Player. The forward wowed fans and critics alike with consistent performances, decisive goals, and a style of play that combined technical skill and aggression, leaving defenders scrambling throughout the season.

Unfortunately, an ACL injury had cut her season short and she had to watch the playoffs from the sidelines. Even then, the impact caused by Kerolin was such that her name became synonymous with excellence in the league. Now, this transfer to Manchester City opens a new chapter in the journey that does promise to test her abilities and shows her talent in an even big way.

From North Carolina Courage to Manchester City

Manchester City is the second-place team in the Women's Super League and might be the ideal place for Kerolin to get back in rhythm and realize her full potential. The English team, with 22 points in the league, hopes to add creativity and firepower to its attack. Kerolin seems like the perfect fit.

On the other hand, European soccer offers a more tactical and technical gameplay that might just amplify the Brazilian's strengths. The structured yet dynamic style of the Women's Super League offers an ideal platform where her speed, dribbling, and attacking instincts could shine even brighter. For City, signing a player of Kerolin's caliber is a statement of intent: the club wants to be the best not only in the domestic league but also in international competitions, such as the Champions League, where it will be pitted against heavyweights like Barcelona.

The making of a global women's soccer star

A transfer to Manchester City means a return to Europe for Kerolin, who briefly visited the continent in 2021 when she played for Madrid CFF. This time, though, the forward arrives with a completely different status: now MVP of the NWSL and an Olympic medalist, ready to take that responsibility onto her shoulders and deliver on critical moments.

A transfer like this is essential in the process of strengthening the competition between leagues and raising the overall level of women's soccer. Kerolin joins a growing list of Brazilian players excelling in European soccer, bringing her talent and flair to a global audience.
