Matt Turner joins Revolution on loan from Lyon as he looks to get back to national team form
Turner will join the New England Revolution on loan from French Ligue 1 club Lyon through June 2026, the Revolution announced Friday. The deal includes an option to purchase the contract of Turner, who will be a designated player on the Revolution's roster for the remainder of the 2025 season. He'll be eligible for targeted allocation money in 2026.
One of the reasons that
Turner was displaced
by New York City FC's Matt Freese at the U.S. starter at goalkeeper for the CONCACAF Gold Cup matches in June and July was that he hadn't played consistently at the club level for France's Lyon.
Turner, 31, became the No. 1 U.S. goalkeeper ahead of the 2022 World Cup and had started 14 consecutive competitive matches for the U.S. and 23 of 24 before the Gold Cup.
Turner will now look to get back to that level in New England, where he made his pro debut in 2016.
He last played for New England in 2022, posting a 53.3% save percentage over five starts.

Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs remains out of practice after undergoing knee procedure
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs has undergone a surgical procedure on his knee that will keep him out of training camp for now. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday he didn't want to speculate on when Hobbs might return. Green Bay Packers on SI first reported Hobbs' injury and said he could return in about three weeks. 'I'm not going to put a timetable on it, but unfortunately he had to have something cleaned up,' LaFleur said. 'We're hoping to get him back here sooner than later.' Hobbs didn't practice on Friday or Saturday. LaFleur said he believed the injury occurred during a collision in training camp. The Packers signed Hobbs to a four-year, $48 million contract in March after he spent his first four seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 26-year-old Hobbs started 38 games, forced three fumbles and intercepted three passes during his time in Las Vegas. Hobbs is expected to help the Packers absorb the loss of two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander, who got released in June and has since signed with the Baltimore Ravens. The Packers entered training camp with Keisean Nixon, Hobbs and Carrington Valentine as their top three cornerbacks. The Packers have attempted to boost their cornerback depth by having wide receiver Bo Melton work primarily on defense in training camp. They also added a familiar face Monday by signing Corey Ballentine, three days after the Indianapolis Colts released him. Ballentine, 29, made seven starts and appeared in 37 regular-season games and three playoff contests with the Packers from 2022-24. He contributed primarily on special teams last season. '(He's) a guy that's got experience and knows our system not only on defense but on 'we-fense,'" LaFleur said, referring to the nickname the Packers have for special teams. 'Really excited to see him.' ___

Paris FC nearing agreement with RB Leipzig for Amadou Haidara
It's been a busy summer transfer window for Paris FC, who could be on the verge of another big coup. The newly-promoted Ligue 1 side have their sights set on Amadou Haidara (27), according to , with the Malian international playing the majority of his senior career with Red Bull clubs. At the moment, the 27-year-old is at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, with reports indicating the Parisians are in advanced talks with the German side. The connection between the two clubs may be a key factor in why discussions are happening so quickly, as Red Bull holds a stake in both teams. Haidara would add plenty of experience to a side playing in the French top flight for the first time in 46 years. The two-time Austrian Bundesliga champion with RB Salzburg has made over 150 appearances in the German top flight and was a part of the team that made it all the way to the UEFA Champions League semi-final in 2019-20. Adding Haidara would be another big move for Stéphane Gilli's men with the Ligue 1 season just around the corner, one of many the club have already made, also signing Moses Simon (30) and Otávio (23). A U-17 FIFA World Cup runner-up with Mali, Haidara has collected 46 caps for the senior squad, while he captured a pair of German Cup titles at Leipzig. He's currently under contract with the German side until the summer of 2026. GFFN | Joel Lefevre
