Barcelona land huge transfer blow to sign Wolfsburg hotshot Ewa Pajor ahead of Man Utd & PSG

Speculation surrounding Pajor's future has been rife for several months now, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-replacement-alessia-russo-interested-in-signing-ewa-pajor-wolfsburg-record-fee/bltbb3d7930e1531f08" target="_blank">Man Utd in particular regularly linked</a> with a player who has scored 131 goals in 191 games for Wolfsburg since joining from Medyk Konin as an 18-year-old.

WHAT HAPPENED?

However, despite interest from the Red Devils and Paris Saint-Germain, <a href="https://www.waz-online.de/sport/regional/nach-spanien-ewa-pajors-abschied-vom-vfl-wolfsburg-ist-fix-7C4WS7DAOZARTJAMAMN4OSCRQY.html" target="_blank">AZ/WAZ Sport</a> reports that the next chapter of Pajor's career will come in Barcelona and that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/patri-guijarro-barcelona-star-world-class-womens-champions-league-wolfsburg/blt85a282eb2437c60f" target="_blank">the European champions</a> will pay a record fee for her services. The 27-year-old has a €500,000 (£426,000/$532,000) release clause in her contract which, when activated, will see her become the most expensive sale in Frauen-Bundesliga history.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-femeni-asisat-oshoala-transfer-nwsl-bay-fc/blt260a3dc0180b16a1" target="_blank">Asisat Oshoala joined Bay FC from Barcelona earlier this year</a>, so the Catalans are in need of a centre-forward and in Pajor they will get one of the best in the business.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

This transfer will be a huge blow for Wolfsburg, however. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/patri-guijarro-barcelona-star-world-class-womens-champions-league-wolfsburg/blt85a282eb2437c60f" target="_blank">The German giants were facing Barcelona in a Champions League final less than a year ago</a> but are now enduring a terrible season, eliminated in the second round of UWCL qualifying and primed to finish second to Bayern Munich in the title race again.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-snubbed-lena-oberdorf-set-to-complete-eur400k-transfer-bayern-munich-wolfsburg-superstar-emma-hayes/bltfeed687165d95d5b" target="_blank">With Lena Oberdorf set to join Bayern this summer</a>, Pajor's departure will be another significant hit that raises questions of whether they can maintain their place at the top of the women's game without the finances of some of their competitors.

DID YOU KNOW?

Pajor still has a chance of leaving Wolfsburg on a high, with them set to take on Bayern in the DFB Pokal final next month. Barcelona, meanwhile, are targeting a a quadruple, having already won the Supercopa de Espana earlier this season.
