USA mainstay in move from Portland Thorns
‘I couldn’t be more ready and happy about everything’
Manchester City have signed the USA midfielder Sam Coffey on a three-and-a-half year deal.
The 27-year-old won gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics and has accrued 42 caps and scored five goals for the USA, becoming a key part of Emma Hayes’ national team. After graduating she joined Portland Thorns and lifted the 2022 NWSL Championship in her debut season.
As reported by the Guardian last week, Coffey had been in advanced talks with City having been granted permission by Portland Thorns to fly to England to finalise the move and are reported to have paid around $800,000 (£600,000) for the American.
