The first offseason movement for the Orlando Pride could instantly strengthen the NWSL team’s back line.
A trade with the Washington Spirit for U.S. women's national team defender Ali Krieger was submitted and is pending league approval, a source told the Orlando Sentinel.
Details of the potential trade have not been confirmed.
Krieger, a 32-year-old right back, was spotted at the Orlando City SC awards gala during the weekend.
She has been one of the most reliable defenders for the U.S. since debuting with the national team in 2008, overcoming multiple injuries and setbacks throughout her career.
