The 21-year-old winger spent the previous season on loan at Stade Auguste Gentelet, contributing to FC Fleury 91’s fifth-place finish in the Arkema Première Ligue. After overcoming a serious foot injury, she made three appearances and scored one goal.
Now fully recovered, Ribadeira is eager to prove herself in the French top division and aims to find the back of the net during her second loan spell at FC Fleury 91.
Ribadeira was signed by Chelsea from French club Paris FC in the summer of 2024, signing a four-year contract. Shortly after, she returned to Paris FC on loan to continue her development. She also had a stint at Everton during the 2024/2025 season before joining FC Fleury 91 last year.
While Ribadeira has yet to make her mark in the Chelsea first team, the club believes she has the potential to be a significant talent in the future. She is determined to shine and make an impact when she returns to South West London in a year.
