The players for the NWSL's Utah Royals were reportedly informed Saturday that the team would be relocating to Kansas City, according to Jeff Kassouf of The Equalizer.
The move has been considered "imminent" for some time now, per Kassouf, and is awaiting the eventual sale of the team to be finalized. All that is needed is the signature of current owner Dell Loy Hansen, according to Meg Linehan of The Athletic.
The deal is expected to be officially announced next week.
The club's prospective new owners are Chris and Angie Long, who reside in Kansas City.
