Atleti Women sign Gabi Nunes through 2027

Atlético Femenino has moved quickly to replace Amaiur Sarriegui, who has headed to Juventus. The answer is Gabi Nunes, who has reached an agreement with the club to become a new rojiblanca, as Mundo Deportivo reports.

The deal has been structured around timing: the article says Atlético took advantage of the fact that the Brazilian had just terminated her contract with Orlando Pride and was therefore available on the market. From there, both sides pushed to finalise her arrival so she can bolster the frontline during the ongoing Liga competition.

Contract and term

According to Mundo Deportivo, Gabi Nunes signs with Atlético Femenino until June 30, 2027. The club’s aim, per the same source, is to lessen the blow left by the departure of Amaiur.

Competitive mindset and experience

At 29, the forward brings experience in Liga F, where she previously played for Madrid CFF and Levante, adding goals to her record. The piece also underlines her international moment: she won Olympic silver at Paris with the ‘Canarinha’ in the summer a couple of years back.

In her first statements to the club, she set the tone: "Vengo a ganar, soy súper competitiva y quiero ver al Atleti en lo más alto". Mundo Deportivo also points to her resilience, highlighting that she has dealt with difficult knee injuries during her career and has always returned stronger.

With LaLiga already under way, Atlético Femenino adds a forward expected to provide impact in the box and bring much-needed reinforcement up front.
