Matt Turner Returns to Revolution on Season-Long Loan from Lyon

The move gives Turner regular minutes to compete for the U.S. national team’s starting goalkeeper spot before the 2026 World Cup.

Overview

  • Turner has joined New England on loan from Olympique Lyonnais through June 30, 2026 with an option for the Revolution to purchase his contract.
  • He will occupy a Designated Player slot for the rest of the 2025 MLS season before converting to a TAM-eligible signing in 2026.
  • The Revolution are 11th in the Eastern Conference and winless in nine matches, and they expect Turner’s MLS experience to bolster their attack on the playoff race.
  • Turner seeks consistent club minutes in Foxborough to rebuild form and reclaim the U.S. men’s national team’s starting goalkeeper role.
  • Lyon’s ongoing debt pressures and salary-cutting drive expedited the decision to loan Turner back to MLS.
