Super Falcons icon Asisat Oshoala is set to bid farewell to FC Barcelona women’s team this week as her contract concludes at the end of the season.

Oshoala is on the verge of securing a transfer deal with Bay FC, a team in the United States National Women’s Soccer League based in California. The deal is expected to be finalized with a €150,000 payment to FC Barcelona women’s team before the week concludes.

Having commenced her professional football journey with Robo in Nigeria in 2009, Oshoala joined FC Barcelona in 2019 from the Chinese club, Dalian W.F.C. Initially on loan, her remarkable performance led to a permanent deal ahead of the 2019-2020 season.

The former Arsenal and Liverpool forward enjoyed significant success at FC Barcelona, clinching four Primera División, three Supercopa de España Femenina, and three Copa de la Reina titles.

The standout seasons of 2020-2021 and 2022-2023 saw Oshoala contribute to the club’s victories in the UEFA Women’s Champions League and the league title.

Her outstanding performance in the preceding season earned her the prestigious 2023 African Women’s Footballer of the Year award for the second consecutive year and an unprecedented sixth time.
