FC Sheriff Tiraspol of Moldova has officially announced the signing of Colombian striker Jayder Asprilla, who joins the club after a successful spell with Atlético Nacional. The 22-year-old forward has signed a contract for the next three seasons, becoming one of the main bets of the European team to strengthen its attack. With this transfer, Asprilla aims to follow in the footsteps of other compatriots who have shined at the Tiraspol club and use it as a showcase for the continent’s top leagues.

A lethal goalscorer forged in Medellín

Sheriff acquires a player in unbeatable form: Asprilla arrives after a historic campaign in the 2025 DIMAYOR Tournament, where he was crowned top scorer with 28 goals in all competitions. His finishing ability and physical strength have made him one of the most coveted talents from the “verdolaga” youth academy. His departure is a significant loss for Atlético Nacional’s attack, but a great opportunity for the young footballer’s professional growth.

Ambition and youth for the Moldovan project

The FC Sheriff board has described their new signing as a young, hungry, and lethal player—qualities that fit the club’s philosophy of attracting up-and-coming South American talents. After the negotiations concluded, Asprilla will immediately join the team’s preseason to adapt to the climate and tactical system. The Colombian’s big challenge will be to carry his goal-scoring streak into the preliminary rounds of European competitions, where Sheriff is often a recurring protagonist.
