Kansas City Signs Sentnor in Record NWSL Deal

The Kansas City Current have acquired 21-year-old forward Ally Sentnor, the 2024 U.S. Soccer Young Female Player of the Year and No. 1 pick in the 2024 NWSL Draft, from the Utah Royals in a record-setting NWSL trade. Utah will receive a $600,000 intra-league transfer fee, the largest in league history, paid over multiple seasons, and retain a 20% sell-on clause. Sentnor scored four goals and provided five assists in 34 appearances for Utah and has become a notable contributor to the U.S. Women's National Team. Her move comes as Kansas City leads the league with a dynamic offense, while Utah sits at the bottom of the standings and appears to be entering a rebuilding phase. Sentnor's arrival is expected to further strengthen Kansas City's attack as the NWSL resumes after its summer break. The Royals now have until the end of the transfer window to seek a replacement.
