Overview

• Multiple outlets report Orlando Pride are set to trigger Ovalle’s release clause to secure her move from Tigres despite a contract running through summer 2026.
• Fee estimates range from $1.5 million to $2 million, a figure that would top the reported $1.3 million paid for Olivia Smith and the previous mark for Naomi Girma.
• An AP report, citing an anonymous source, says the agreement had not been formally signed but is expected to be completed before the window deadline.
• Ovalle, 25, is Tigres’ all-time leading scorer with 136 goals in 294 appearances and has been central to six league titles since debuting in 2017.
• Joining Orlando would place the Mexico international with the reigning NWSL champions alongside veteran star Marta.
