Portland Thorns FC announced today that the club has aquired $100,000 in Allocation Money, a 2022 NWSL Draft natural second round pick and roster immunity from Angel City FC in the 2022 NWSL expansion draft in exchange for forwards Simone Charley and Tyler Lussi.
“I’ve been a player who has been traded, so the most important part of this process was meeting with Simone and Tyler to ensure they were supported in this move,” said general manager of Thorns FC Karina LeBlanc. “Both players expressed their love for the Thorns and the impact their time here has had on them as people and players, yet when this opportunity came about they conveyed their desire for a new challenge and opportunity.
