"A source told ESPN that Utah paid an $800,000 transfer fee to sign Palacios, which is believed to be the second-highest outgoing transfer from Liga MX Femenil behind Lizbeth Ovalle's $1.5 million move from Tigres to the Orlando Pride last summer."
"At the club level, she is América's all-time leading scorer with 90 goals in 174 league appearances. She helped América win the 2023 Clausura title."
"She arrives at a Utah team in need of goal-scoring help. The Royals scored only 28 goals in 26 games last season, third-fewest in the NWSL."
Utah Royals acquired Mexican forward Kiana Palacios from Club América for an $800,000 transfer fee, marking the second-highest outgoing transfer from Liga MX Femenil. Palacios is a regular Mexico national team player and América's all-time leading scorer with 90 goals in 174 league appearances, including helping the club win the 2023 Clausura title. Born in Orange, California, she played college soccer at UC Irvine before beginning her professional career in Spain with Real Sociedad, where she won the 2019 Copa de la Reina. She joined América in 2021. Utah pursued Palacios to address offensive struggles, having scored only 28 goals in 26 games last season, third-fewest in the NWSL.
