PSG CONFIRM SIGNING OF NIGERIAN STAR RASHEEDAT AJIBADE

Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed the signing of Nigerian international Rasheedat Busayo Ajibade, with the striker putting pen to paper on a contract that will keep her in the French capital until June 30, 2027. The 25-year-old forward joins PSG from Atlético de Madrid, where she spent three successful seasons in Spain’s Liga F.

Ajibade, who has over 30 caps for Nigeria and serves as captain of the Super Falcons, expressed her excitement about joining PSG, saying, “I’m deeply honoured to be joining Paris Saint-Germain, a top-drawer club in Europe. This is a major step for me, and I’m committed to giving my all to help PSG win titles and to inspire young footballers, be they in Nigeria or elsewhere.”

The Nigerian striker has had a stellar career, winning two Women’s Africa Cup of Nations titles with the Super Falcons and representing her country at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Ajibade rose to prominence as a teenage sensation with FC Robo Queens in Nigeria and has also played for Avaldsnes IL in Norway.

In the 2024-2025 campaign with Atlético de Madrid, Ajibade made 25 appearances, scoring eight goals and registering three assists. PSG welcomed their new forward warmly, hailing her as a major addition to their women’s squad.

With her mix of pace, skill, and leadership, Ajibade is expected to make an immediate impact in Division 1 Féminine and on the European stage as PSG chase domestic and continental glory.
