The Blaugrana have reportedly agreed a German-record fee for Polish striker Ewa Pajor
After the departure of Nigerian striker Asisat Oshoala earlier this year, FC Barcelona Femení have moved swiftly to secure a replacement. The Blaugrana have activated the release clause for Wolfsburg striker Ewa Pajor, reportedly worth €500k, making her the most expensive player in Germany’s Bundesliga history.
Oshoala’s Departure and a Search for a Replacement
Oshoala bid farewell to Barcelona after a fruitful five-year stint, opting to join Bay FC in the NWSL extension.
With the departure of their prolific striker, Barcelona set their sights on finding a suitable replacement to bolster their attacking prowess.
Enter Ewa Pajor
The 27-year-old Polish forward, Ewa Pajor, has emerged as Barcelona's chosen successor to Oshoala. Pajor, currently plying her trade with Wolfsburg, will make the move to the Catalan giants in the summer transfer window.
Barcelona's acquisition of Pajor comes at a hefty price, with the €500k release clause making her the most expensive Bundesliga player ever. This substantial investment underscores Barcelona's determination to secure top talent as they seek to maintain their dominance in women's football.
Pajor's arrival at Barcelona signals the dawn of a new era for the Blaugrana. With her impressive goal-scoring record and versatility in attack, Pajor promises to add a new dimension to Barcelona's formidable frontline.
Choosing Barcelona
Despite interest from other top clubs such as PSG and Manchester United, Pajor ultimately opted to join Barcelona. The allure of playing for the reigning Champions League winners and the biggest figurehead in European women's football proved irresistible for the Polish international.
Pajor's departure from Wolfsburg marks the end of a successful chapter in her career. During her time with the She-Wolves, she amassed an impressive record, scoring 131 goals in 191 appearances and clinching multiple titles, including the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal.
Continuing Success at Barcelona
As Barcelona prepares to welcome Pajor into their ranks, they do so with high hopes for continued success. Currently leading the Bundesliga top scorers list with twelve goals this season, Pajor's arrival adds further firepower to Barcelona's quest for silverware in the Liga F, Copa de la Reina, and UWCL.
With Ewa Pajor's imminent arrival, Barcelona Femení have taken a significant step towards reinforcing their squad and maintaining their status as one of the dominant forces in women's football. As Pajor prepares to don the iconic Blaugrana colours, fans eagerly anticipate the impact she will make on the pitch in the seasons to come.
