Barcelona Femeni star Asisat Oshoala linked with 'immediate' NWSL move before January transfer window closes

The Catalan club are set to accept a fee of $163,000 from an unnamed NWSL side for the Nigerian attacker, according to Diario Sport. The 29-year-old striker has been upset with her playing time of late, and with her contract up in June, Barca are looking to cash in to avoid losing her on a free transfer this summer.

Oshoala has made 14 appearances this season, but only earning three starts along the way. Despite that, she's been clinical in moments, scoring eight goals along the way. If she moves to NWSL, she will follow Barca Femeni boss Jonatan Giraldez, who has agreed a pre-contract agreement with the Washington Spirit this summer.

Oshoala has 107 goals in 149 appearances for Barcelona since joining in 2019, averaging .71 goals per-game since her arrival at the club. Talk about clinical.

The Nigerian attacker will hope her move comes to fruition soon enough, while NWSL sides prepare for the upcoming season. The new campaign begins March 16, with Portland Thorns vs KC Current.
