Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade is set to join French D1 Arkema giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) following her departure from Spanish Liga F club Atletico Madrid in June 2025. The 24-year-old winger, who recently led Nigeria to its 10th Africa Cup of Nations title in Morocco and was named the tournament's Best Player, will be the second Nigerian at PSG alongside midfielder Jennifer Echegini.
Ajibade’s signing strengthens PSG’s attacking lineup and marks a significant acquisition for the French club as they aim to rebuild and enhance their women’s team after a challenging season. Despite interest from Major League Soccer clubs, PSG has prevailed in securing her signature, highlighting their strong intent in the women's football market.
The move is expected to be officially announced shortly, with great anticipation from fans who have followed Ajibade's rise as one of Africa’s premier football talents. Her arrival at PSG symbolizes a growing influence of Nigerian players in European women's football and sets a promising tone for the upcoming season.
