Jennifer Echegini bids Juventus farewell ahead of rumoured move to France

By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde

Nigeria forward Jennifer Echegini has penned an emotional farewell message to Italian Serie A giants, Juventus, ahead of her departure.

The former Florida State University (FSU) star, who is heading to the Paris 2024 Olympics with the Super Falcons, is reportedly close to joining French giants PSG for the 2024/2025 season.

Echegini took to Instagram to express her gratitude to her teammates and coaches at Juventus, reflecting on her time with the club.

“I want to take this moment and share my gratitude for the time we have shared. Despite all that may have been said, I’m extremely grateful to have been part of this family,” Echegini posted.

“Living and playing in Turin has been an amazing journey filled with a lot of growing and learning for me. I will cherish these memories and carry them on to my next journey.”

Echegini joined Juventus less than a year ago from FSU in the United States. During her short stint, she scored 10 goals in 14 league games, helping the team qualify for the 2024/2025 UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) despite losing the league title to AS Roma for consecutive seasons.

“Thank you to my teammates and coaches for making me feel a part of the family,” she continued.

“Working alongside dedicated and inspiring women has been the most rewarding experience. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Lastly, thank you for unwavering support throughout the season. With all my love and appreciation. Fino Alle Fine!”

As Echegini transitions to PSG, she will also focus on leading the Super Falcons in a challenging Olympics group against Brazil, Spain, and Japan.
