USWNT star Crystal Dunn has been traded in a blockbuster NWSL deal.

USWNT star Crystal Dunn has been traded to the Portland Thorns in a three-team trade, the club announced Thursday. 

In the first of two deals, Dunn went from the North Carolina Courage, the club she played for this past season, to OL Reign in exchange for goalkeeper Casey Murphy and $140,000 of allocation money. The Reign then sent Dunn to the Thorns for an international slot, a 2022 first-round pick and $250,000 of allocation money.

“We are delighted to add a world-class player to an already talented group,” Gavin Wilkinson, Thorns FC general manager and president of soccer, said in a statement. “Crystal has proven herself on the international level and been a dominant player in the NWSL for many years. Her professionalism and presence will reinforce and add to the strong culture we have in this club.”
