USMNT Goalkeeper Turner Reported to Join Lyon from Nottingham Forest

U.S. men’s national team goalkeeper Matt Turner is set to transfer from Nottingham Forest to French club Lyon for a fee of around $9.1 million (€8 million). After spending the 2024-25 season on loan at Crystal Palace with limited playing time, Turner is seeking regular first-team action to secure his starting role with the USMNT ahead of upcoming international competitions. Lyon's current goalkeeper Lucas Perri has been linked with a move away, which likely cleared the way for Turner to compete for the starting spot. Turner, 30, has 51 caps with the U.S. and started all four matches at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino has expressed concerns about Turner’s lack of club minutes, calling the goalkeeper position open and encouraging Turner to find consistent playing time. Turner will join fellow USMNT player Tanner Tessmann at Lyon, which finished sixth in Ligue 1 last season and qualified for the Europa League.
