Overview
- Multiple sources report North Carolina will send the USWNT midfielder to Gotham in a move that would set a new NWSL intra-league record.
- The $1.25 million fee would more than double the previous intra-league mark of $600,000 paid for Ally Sentnor in August.
- A league source told ESPN the payment would be made in installments entirely using NWSL intra-league transfer funds.
- Gotham plans to sign Shaw through the 2029 season as it seeks additional creativity for a late-season playoff push.
- Intra-league trades remain permissible until the league-wide roster freeze on Oct. 9; Shaw joined the Courage in January and has three goals and one assist in 10 NWSL starts this season, with eight goals in 26 USWNT caps.
