"The North Carolina Courage have agreed to trade United States midfielder Jaedyn Shaw to NJ/NY Gotham FC for $1.25 million, which would be an intra-league record for an NWSL trade, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN. A $1.25 million fee is more than double the intra-league record that was just set in August, when the Kansas City Current paid $600,000 to the Utah Royals for USWNT forward Ally Sentnor. It would also rank among some of the most expensive global transfers to date globally."
"The fee would be paid over multiple installments and entirely in NWSL intra-league transfer funds, a league source confirmed. Gotham, who were seeking to add a player with creativity to their squad, plans to sign Shaw through the 2029 NWSL season. Shaw's exit from the Courage would see her time with the team end after less than one full season."

Shaw won the NWSL Shield and Challenge Cup with San Diego and was named to the NWSL Best XI in 2023. Gotham sits sixth with seven games remaining while North Carolina is 11th and fired head coach Sean Nahas in early August.
