The Kansas City Current acquired forward Cece Kizer and defender Addisyn Merrick from Racing Louisville FC. In exchange, Louisville receives one of Kansas City’s international slots through the 2023 season and $150,000 in allocation funds with an additional $25,000 if Kizer meet certain performance-based criteria.
It’s a major trade for the Current at this point in the season. With the way Kansas City has been impacted by injuries (Lynn Williams, Sam Mewis, Mallory Weber) and performance on the field (5 points in 7 games, 1-4-2 record), it was a matter of time before the team went to trading board.
