Paris Saint-Germain have bolstered their attack with the signing of Nigerian international Rasheedat Ajibade on a two-year deal.
The French giants announced the transfer on Tuesday, confirming that the 25-year-old forward has committed to the club until June 30, 2027.
“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,” PSG said in a statement.
Ajibade joined from Atlético de Madrid, where she has featured since 2021, following a two-year stint in Norway with Avaldsnes IL. In the 2024–25 season, she recorded 25 appearances for the Spanish side, scoring eight goals and providing three assists.
Born on December 8, 1999, in the Mushin district of Lagos State, Ajibade rose through the ranks at FC Robo Queens before winning Nigeria’s NFF Young Player of the Year award in 2018.
Now captain of the Super Falcons, she has twice led Nigeria to Women’s Africa Cup of Nations glory, first in 2018 and again in 2024. She also played a key role for the team at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympics, cementing her place as one of the country’s most influential footballers with over 30 caps.
Reacting to the move, Ajibade expressed her excitement about joining the French champions.
“I’m deeply honoured to be joining Paris Saint-Germain, a top-drawer club in Europe,” she said. “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.”
With the move, Ajibade becomes one of the few Nigerian women to play for PSG, raising hopes of further continental and global achievements for both club and country.
