Now that the sale of the Seattle Reign FC is finally complete, the team could be active in the upcoming summer transfer window, which opens on Thursday, August 1.
Sandra Herrera of CBS Sports reported Thursday evening that 25-year-old Haitian international forward Nérilia Mondésir is set to join an undisclosed NWSL club for an estimated $200,000 transfer fee from French club Montpellier HSC.
Sources have indicated to Ride of the Valkyries that the Reign may be that NWSL club, and her addition would definitely give the team a speedy and goal-dangerous attacking option.
Primarily lining up on the left or right wing, Mondésir has been at Montpellier since 2017, making 121 appearances (89 starts), scoring 20 goals and claiming 16 assists. She can also play center forward and loves to dribble at defenders. Representing Haiti, Mondésir has 25 caps for the senior team and has scored 14 goals. She also serves as Haiti’s captain.
Ride of the Valkyries reached out to the Reign for comment but did not hear back from the club before the time of publication.
It should be noted that before any new players can join the Reign, the team must make some room. Even with Jimena López and Luany still out on loan until the end of the month at Valencia and Madrid CFF, respectively, the team is at the roster limit of 26 players. There is obviously a lot of time between now and when the transfer window opens in August, but for this saucy transfer rumor to become a reality, general manager Lesle Gallimore will have to make some outgoing moves – such as additional loans, transfers out, or by releasing a player.
