The flying winger, known for her blistering pace and creativity, confirmed the transfer on social media, expressing joy and gratitude:
“Happy to finally announce that I’ve signed for @ASRomaWomen. I’m so excited to see what we can achieve together… Grateful to God for guiding me through every step of this journey.”
Babajide, 27, had a standout campaign for Nigeria in the WAFCON group stages, drawing praise for her dynamic attacking displays. Her move to Roma adds further international experience to the Italian side and sees her return to red—having previously played for Liverpool and Brighton.
She also shared a heartfelt message thanking her family and agency:
“My heart is full, especially having my mum beside me… Thank you @kleinecris @beplayerbyyoufirst for making this move possible.”
AS Roma Women are strengthening their squad ahead of the new Serie A Femminile season and Champions League aspirations, and Babajide’s signing is seen as a major boost to their attacking depth.
The Super Falcons winger now prepares for both her club debut in Italy and Nigeria’s WAFCON quarterfinal tie, continuing what has been a landmark year in her professional journey.
