The Washington Spirit is on the verge of trading Canadian national team midfielder Diana Matheson, the latest in a series of roster jolts since the National Women’s Soccer League championship game three months ago.
The Insider learned Saturday that the organization is working on final details and could announce a deal within a week. Trade specifics were still evolving this weekend, but Washington was looking to acquire a young player, draft pick and perhaps other considerations.
A tentative agreement appeared in place weeks ago with the 2016 champion Western New York Flash, which was based near Matheson’s home town in the Toronto area.
