  • The Pride did not disclose terms, but multiple outlets including the AP report a $1.5 million fee that would eclipse recent marks set for Olivia Smith and Naomi Girma.
  • Ovalle departs Tigres as the club’s all-time leading scorer with 136 goals, adding six Liga MX titles and three Campeón de Campeones to her résumé.
  • Her registration with Orlando remains subject to a P-1 visa and an International Transfer Certificate before she can debut.
  • Tigres said she will bid farewell on August 22 at Estadio Universitario in the Liga MX Femenil Duelo de Estrellas against Barcelona.
