Rasheedat Ajibade has officially wrapped up her time with Atlético Madrid.
After four impactful years in Spain, the Super Falcons forward is parting ways with the Liga F giants as her contract expires at the end of June 2025. Her final game came quietly against Barcelona, marking the end of a solid run that saw her rise as one of Nigeria’s most reliable players in Europe.
Now, all eyes are on what comes next but Ajibade is in no rush to make that public.
With the rescheduled 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) kicking off in Morocco this July, she’s made it clear: her focus is 100% on Nigeria’s campaign. Any talk of transfers will have to wait.
Still, behind the scenes, the market is heating up. Reports indicate that at least one club from the U.S.-based National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) is closely tracking her situation. While no official offers have been announced, interest is active and growing.
Ajibade’s recent Instagram farewell to Atlético teammates signals the end of a chapter, but not the full story. She’s not just walking away from a club she’s setting the stage for something bigger.
