WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>With Mariona Caldentey moving to Arsenal, Barcelona were in need of attacking reinforcements and few come better equipped to fill the void than 21-year-old Nazareth. The Portuguese star can play centrally or out wide and played a key role in helping Benfica win all four domestic trophies last season. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Nazareth becomes the most expensive player in the history of the women's team, surpassing previous <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/england-star-walsh-completes-world-record-barcelona-transfer-from-man-city/blt8c41a7692403583e" target="_blank">world-record holder Keira Walsh</a> and Ewa Pajor, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-confirm-ewa-pajor-wolfsburg-club-record-deal-prolific-star-man-utd/bltdb7e2424ea70868e" target="_blank">arrived in the summer from Wolfsburg</a>.</p>
