In a statement, the club expressed deep gratitude to the 23-year-old: “Paris FC warmly thanks Chiamaka for these five incredible years that will forever leave a mark on the club’s history.
“We wish her all the best in the next chapter of her career.”
Widely regarded as one of Africa’s finest goalkeepers, Nnadozie’s next destination has not yet been officially announced.
