                        Mexican star Lizbeth Ovalle in advanced talks to join NWSL's Orlando Pride

Mexican international Lizbeth Ovalle is in advanced negotiations to join the Orlando Pride in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). If the transfer is completed, it would break the record for the highest transfer fee paid for a female soccer player. Ovalle, a highly-regarded midfielder, currently plays for Liga MX Femenil club Tigre. The transfer fee being discussed is reported to be in the range of $1 million, which would surpass the previous record of $400,000 paid for Sam Kerr's move from Sky Blue FC to Chelsea in 2017. The potential move to the NWSL and the Orlando Pride would provide Ovalle with a significant career opportunity, as she looks to showcase her talents on a larger stage. This transaction would also highlight the growing value and recognition of women's soccer globally, as clubs increasingly invest in top-tier talent.
