The club, a European powerhouse with eight championships, finalized the transfer from Ajax. The transfer fee is approximately €450,000, with Ajax set to receive a percentage of any future transfer. At 18, Yohannes has eight national team caps and made her debut in June 2024, scoring within 10 minutes. Born in Virginia and raised in the Netherlands, she previously signed her first professional contract with Ajax at 15.

She's got unbelievable maturity and coachability, and someone who I know is going to become an important part of our program, said USWNT head coach Emma Hayes.
