The 24-year-old forward, who became a free agent in June after the expiration of her contract with Spanish Liga F side Atlético Madrid, has been on the radar of several clubs. While interest also came from the United States’ Major League Soccer (MLS), PSG are now understood to be in pole position to secure her services.
Ajibade’s arrival in Paris would make her the second Nigerian international at the French giants, joining midfielder Jennifer Echegini, who has quickly established herself as a key figure in the squad.
The versatile winger has enjoyed a remarkable year on both club and international fronts. She captained Nigeria’s Super Falcons to their record-extending 10th Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) title in Morocco last month, delivering standout performances that earned her the tournament’s Best Player award.
Ajibade’s leadership, creativity, and goal-scoring instinct have made her one of the most sought-after African players in world football. A move to PSG would not only bolster the club’s attacking options but also place her in one of Europe’s most competitive environments ahead of next year’s UEFA Women’s Champions League campaign.
With formal confirmation expected in the coming days, Ajibade looks poised to take the next big step in her career—one that further underscores the growing influence of Nigerian women’s football on the global stage.
