- Shaw set to join Gotham FC
- Will smash Liga Nacional de Mujeres transfer record
- Shaw only joined the Courage in January
De acuerdo a ESPN Gotham FC de Nueva Jersey y Nueva York have agreed to a trade deal with the Coraje de Carolina del Norte to sign Shaw for $1.25 million (£925,000), setting a new transfer record in the NWSL. In August, the Kansas City Current paid $600,000 to the Reales de Utah for USWNT forward Ally Sentnor, which is the current league record.
Shaw joined the North Carolina Courage only nine months ago from the San Diego Wave and made nine league appearances for the club in the NWSL 2025 campaign. Gotham FC, who are currently sixth in the table, are looking to add some creativity to their midfield and as a result, have decided to break the bank for the 20-year-old. They will pay the total fee amount in multiple instalments and will offer Shaw a four-year deal.
While Shaw’s deal will set a new NWSL record, in the list of the most expensive transferencias in Women’s football history, it will stand at number two, behind Grace Gyoro’s move from París Saint-Germain hacia Leonas de la ciudad de Londres. The newly promoted Women’s Superliga side paid a whopping €1.65m (£1.43m/$1.93m) to sign the French midfielder.
Gotham FC will be back in action this Saturday as they take on the San Diego Wave in a crucial NWSL clash.
