USMNT goalkeeper
Major League Soccer side New England Revolution are set to receive a club record fee for goalkeeper Matt Turner. On Thursday, ESPN reporter Taylor Twellman reported that the Revolution had agreed terms with Premier League side Arsenal to sell their goalkeeper this upcoming summer. Sam Stejskal from The Athletic then reported further details suggesting a base fee of just under $7 million, plus add-ons of an additional $2 million and further incentives.

Within the last hour, the parties have agreed to terms on a summer transfer of @headdturnerr to @Arsenal. Documents remain to be filed. What a moment for @NERevolution and especially Matt Turner. Undrafted to THIS!!!
Now he must deliver for the @USMNT tonight.— Taylor Twellman (@TaylorTwellman) January 27, 2022
That fee would put Turner just behind his US men’s national goalkeeper Zack Steffen as the second most expensive transfer ever sold by an MLS club. Steffen joined Manchester City from the Columbus Crew in a deal worth $7.5 million in the summer of 2019 and then was immediately loaned to Bundesliga side Fortuna Düsseldorf before rejoining City after his loan expired. For New England, in the meantime, the initial deal will equal the fee that the club received for winger Tajon Buchanan from Club Brugge in January. Either way, Turner will become the most expensive outgoing goalkeeper in club history (overview).
Turner is currently with the US men’s national team. The United States are currently second in Concacaf World Cup qualifying and will face El Salvador (Today), Canada (Jan.30), and Honduras (Feb.2) in the upcoming international window.
