Asisat Oshoala, the standout Super Falcons star, is gearing up to bid farewell to reigning Spanish champions Barcelona, culminating a highly successful chapter with the club she joined in January 2019, as reported by Sportblog247.com.

The Nigerian forward initially arrived at Barcelona on loan from Chinese club Dalian Quanjian, and her exceptional performances prompted Barcelona to secure her permanent signing in June of the same year.

Oshoala’s time with Barcelona has been marked by numerous triumphs, contributing to the club’s collection of four Primera División titles, three Supercopa de España Femenina honors, and three Copa de la Reina titles.

Despite making history as the first African to win the UEFA Women’s Champions League with Barcelona in 2021, and replicating that success in the 2023 edition, Oshoala’s contract, set to expire in June, has prompted the club to approve her departure this month.

Barcelona’s recent squad decisions, including her exclusion from clashes against Real Betis and SL Benfica, signal the conclusion of Oshoala’s tenure with the club.

Speculations surrounding her move to the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) outfit Bay FC in the United States have gained momentum. The potential transfer is rumored to command a fee of approximately €150,000 ($162,000).

An official announcement is expected later this week, with Oshoala reportedly agreeing to a contract that extends through 2026, including a 2027 option.

Bay FC, set to debut in the NWSL’s 2024 season, will play their home matches at PayPal Park in San Jose, California. Their inaugural NWSL campaign kicks off against Angel City on March 17.

In her final season with Barcelona, Oshoala made 14 appearances, starting in only three games but impressively netting eight goals.

Over her five-year stint with the Spanish giants, the former Arsenal star etched her name in history, scoring 107 goals in 149 appearances.
