Mexican star Lizbeth Ovalle is in advanced negotiations to join an NWSL club, in what could be a world record transfer in women’s football. A source revealed to Alofoke Deportes this Monday night.<\/p>\n
According to another source, the Orlando Pride, current league champion, would have finalized the agreement with Tigres Femenil of Liga MX for the talented winger.<\/p>\n
Various reports from Mexico suggest that Ovalle’s transfer could reach $2 million. The current record is held by Canadian international Olivia Smith, following her signing for Arsenal last month for \u00a31 million (approximately $1.34 million).<\/p>\n
If it materializes, Ovalle would become the first Mexican footballer, in both the men’s and women’s divisions, to hold the world record for a transfer.<\/p>\n
Previously linked to Barcelona, the 25-year-old winger could join the NWSL champions, currently third in the table with a record of 8 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses.<\/p>\n
Ovalle has two Liga MX Femenil titles with Tigres, the only club she has represented since her professional debut in 2017.<\/p>\n
At the national team level, she has accumulated more than 50 appearances and was included in the Concacaf W Gold Cup Best XI last year. In the 2024 tournament, where Mexico reached the semi-finals, the winger stood out with a stunning goal against the United States women’s national team in a historic 2-0 victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
