Mexican star Lizbeth Ovalle is in advanced negotiations to join an NWSL club, setting a possible world record in women’s soccer. A source close to the situation confirmed the news on Monday night.<\/p>\n
According to another source, the Orlando Pride, current league champion, would have finalized the transfer with Tigres Femenil of Liga MX for the talented winger.<\/p>\n
The transaction could reach $1.5 million, although other reports suggest the figure could rise to $2 million. If it materializes, Ovalle would surpass the current record, held by Canadian Olivia Smith, who was transferred to Arsenal last month for \u00a31 million (approximately $1.34 million).<\/p>\n
This agreement would make Ovalle the first Mexican footballer, in both the men’s and women’s divisions, to hold a world transfer record.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old player, previously linked to Barcelona, could join the NWSL team, currently in third place in the table with a record of 8 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses.<\/p>\n
Ovalle has six Liga MX Femenil titles with Tigres, the club she has represented since her professional debut in 2017. In addition, she has won three Campeona de Campeonas trophies.<\/p>\n
Internationally, she has participated in more than 50 matches and was included in the Concacaf W Gold Cup’s ideal eleven last year. In the 2024 tournament, where Mexico reached the semi-finals, the winger stood out with a memorable goal against the United States women’s national team, in a historic 2-0 victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
