First, a few tweets from a soccer club owner made fans and media members laugh.
Then, earlier this month, rumors and foreign reports coursed through social media that Orlando Pride's star, the face of the first-year club and U.S. women's national team forward, was in France visiting the same club.
Now, it's official. Alex Morgan will join French side Olympique Lyonnaise through the end of the European season, both clubs announced Tuesday. She is set to return to Orlando in May to finish out the National Women's Soccer League season, according to a statement released by the Pride.
