BARCELONA, REAL MADRID BATTLE FOR FLAMINGOS STAR AFTER WORLD CUP HEROICS

Spanish football giants Barcelona and Real Madrid have reportedly shown interest in Nigerian youngster Oluwakemi Adegbuyi following her impressive performances at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.

The 16-year-old forward scored two goals and provided one assist in seven appearances for the Flamingos, attracting attention from the two European heavyweights, who are reportedly considering offering her an early pathway into European football.

Adegbuyi’s growing reputation also follows an outstanding season in the Nigeria Women Football League, where she was named the league’s Best Player last season.

A potential move to Barcelona would make her the second Nigerian to represent the Catalan club, following Super Falcons legend Asisat Oshoala.
