GK Matt Turner returns to Revolution on loan
Turner, the 2021 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, recorded 22 clean sheets in 102 MLS starts for the Revolution from 2018-22. He was also named an MLS All-Star and made the MLS Best XI in 2021.
"It is a privilege to return to the club that launched my career," Turner said. "The club that helped me discover who I am as a professional, the club that has always felt like a home away from home.
"To have the chance to play in front of the Revolution supporters once again is a priceless feeling and one I've never taken for granted. My family and I have felt their unwavering support throughout these last three years, and I can't wait to wear the Revolution crest again at Gillette Stadium."
The loan from Lyon runs through June 30, 2026 and includes an option to purchase.
Turner, 31, will fill a designated player spot on the Revs' roster for the remainder of the 2025 season and then will become a TAM-eligible (targeted allocation money) player in 2026.
"When the opportunity arose to bring Matt Turner back to the Revolution, we were glad to act swiftly to welcome one of the most talented players ever to represent the club," sporting director Curt Onalfo said. "Matt's talent and leadership will make our squad stronger now and in the future. We look forward to having Matt and his family back in New England."
Turner left New England in February 2022 to join Premier League side Arsenal for a reported $6 million transfer fee. He moved to Nottingham Forest in 2023 and went on loan to Crystal Palace in 2024. He joined Lyon this summer in advance of the 2025-26 season.
Turner has earned 52 caps with the USMNT, serving as the starter for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and winning titles at the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2021 and CONCACAF Nations League in 2022-23 and 2023-24.
Slovenia's Aljaz Ivacic, 31, has been New England's primary goalkeeper this season, recording eight clean sheets in 24 starts. The Revolution (6-11-7, 25 points) are currently 11th in the MLS Eastern Conference, 10 points out of the playoff picture.

We asked for your reaction to Aaron Ramsdale's move to Newcastle on a season-long loan from are some of your comments:Richard: What we really need between the sticks is a keeper with decent feet. Pope and Dubravka are very good shot stoppers but if you ever wondered what a stadium full of people sharply intaking their breath sounds like then go to St. James Park when Nick Pope gets a back pass! Modern keepers are expected to be able to distribute with their feet like another defender to break opponents' press. If Ramsdale's up to that then he's got my Ramsdale is a quality keeper, just entering his prime with a great deal of experience. He'll learn a lot at Newcastle and should realise his Well liked by the fans who liked his enthusiasm and drive. Slightly bonkers at times but aren't all goalkeepers? Not good at fast long throws and not naturally two Aaron played for the Blades a few seasons ago. He was brilliant and marked out even then as a future England keeper. He likes being part of a passionate northern club and will fit in very Ramsdale is the pragmatic transfer after Trafford chose Man City. He represents a positive, pragmatic choice in getting a proven English keeper who can replace or provide competition for Pope. A glimmer of light in what is looking like a dismal window for Definitely play Ramsdale. Pope is a calamity. Every time the ball is played back to him we feel trepidation. Ramsdale is so much better. I'd keep Dubravka and try to sell Pope. Move onwards.
