Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have strengthened their forward line with the signing of Super Falcons striker Rasheedat Ajibade.
Announcing the signing in a post on its blog on Tuesday, PSG said Ajibade’s contract will run until 30 June 2027.
The Club said, “Paris Saint-Germain is delighted to announce the arrival of Nigerian striker Rasheedat Busayo Ajibade, who has joined the club on a deal that runs until 30th June 2027.”
The 25-year-old, born on 8 December 1999 in the Mushin Area of Lagos State, arrives from Atlético de Madrid, where she has played since 2021 after a two-year spell in Norway with Avaldsnes IL.
Ajibade appeared in 25 games during the 2024-25 season, scoring eight goals and assisting three times.
She was named Nigeria’s NFF Young Player of the Year in 2018 after emerging from FC Robo Queens.
As Nigeria’s captain, Ajibade has twice led the Super Falcons to continental triumph at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, in 2018 and 2024.
The forward was also a frequent starter for her team in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, and she is now a key figure in Nigerian football, having earned over 30 caps.
Ajibade commented on the deal, 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.”
