Barcelona confirmed the signing of the Polish striker from the Bundesliga Frauen side and have signed the 27-year-old to a three-year deal until the summer of 2027. The Catalan side opened talks with the Wolfsburg striker last month as they looked to replace the departing striker Asisat Oshoala.

Marc Skinner's Manchester United had been heavily linked with the striker after Wolfsburg were looking to work some departures following a poor season in Germany. However, the Poland striker prefered a move to the back-to-back Champions League winners as she looks to make a charge for her first European title.
DID YOU KNOW?
Barcelona reportedly had to trigger Pajor's €500,000 (£426,000/$532,000) to sign her from Wolfsburg as they weren't ready to negotiate the Polish striker's sale. The reported figure will make her the most expensive sale in Frauen-Bundesliga history.

The Polish striker will now join Barcelona's pre-season once they decide on who their coach will be following the departure of Jonatan Giraldez to NWSL side Washington Spirit.
