A young American who has recently broken into the USMNT is headed overseas. On Wednesday, USL Championship side Louisville City FC announced that Joshua Wynder would move to SL Benfica this summer in a 7-figure transfer deal that is the largest in the league’s history.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle, the transfer fee will see Louisville City collect $1.2 million plus add-ons. Louisville will also get a 20% sell-on fee, though that can be voided should Benfica pay Louisville $500,000 by the end of 2025.
Wynder has broken out on the international scene in recent months, with a call-up to the USMNT in April for a friendly against Mexico.
