Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade is on the verge of signing for French D1 Arkema giants Paris Saint-Germain, marking a significant step in the 24-year-old winger’s career.
Ajibade, who left Spanish Liga F side Atlético Madrid in June following the expiration of her contract, has been a standout figure in Nigerian football, celebrated for her blistering pace, creativity, and leadership.
Her transfer to PSG will see her join compatriot Jennifer Echegini, already a key player for the French champions.
While several MLS clubs had expressed strong interest in acquiring her, PSG secured her signature to bolster their attacking lineup ahead of the new season.
Ajibade’s move comes on the back of a historic triumph as she captained the Super Falcons to their record-extending 10th Africa Cup of Nations title in Morocco.
She was named Best Player of the tournament, underlining her exceptional form and influence on the pitch.
Her arrival in Paris is expected to strengthen PSG’s bid for domestic glory and the UEFA Women’s Champions League title, as the club continues to build one of the most formidable squads in European women’s football.
