Kerolin's no-show at City before Barcelona move

Manchester City were left surprised when Kerolin skipped pre-season before her Barcelona switch.

What happened. Kerolin failed to report for pre-season training at Manchester City in July before her transfer to Barcelona was agreed.

• Barcelona announced the signing on Tuesday.
• City had not published any reference to the move as of Thursday afternoon.
• The transfer is described as lucrative.

City's silence suggests possible friction over the transfer's handling.
