Nigeria’s Rasheedat Ajibade is on the brink of a fresh career move, but only after helping the Super Falcons chase continental glory.
Super Falcons forward Rasheedat Ajibade is set for a new challenge following the conclusion of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco. The 25-year-old will officially part ways with Atlético Madrid at the end of June, bringing an end to a productive four-year spell with the Spanish giants.
Ajibade made her final appearance for the Rojiblancas in a recent clash against Barcelona and is now focused on international duty, as Nigeria aims for a record-extending 10th WAFCON title.
While she has reportedly received an offer from an NWSL club in the United States, the Lagos-born attacker is putting all transfer talks on hold until after the tournament.
“She wants to give her full attention to the national team first. The decision on her future will come after WAFCON,” a source close to the player revealed.
Known for her electric pace, creativity, and eye for goal, Ajibade has become a mainstay for both club and country. Her next move will be watched closely, especially if she shines on African football’s biggest stage once again.
One thing is clear: whether it’s the U.S., another European side, or a fresh surprise, Rasheedat Ajibade is ready for her next big step.
