On the morning of August 2, Beijing time, Loyalsville FC of the United States Women's Premier Soccer League announced that the team has successfully brought in Chinese women's soccer international Wang Frost in a rights-swap deal. In exchange, Loyalsville paid $30,000 in league-allocated funds to Lyon FC of France and ceded a 4th round draft pick for the 2023 Major League Soccer season. The news was also officially confirmed by Lyon.
However, Wang Frost has remained silent on this news, and her agent team is actively dealing with related matters. For now, the outside world can only wait for further official statements.
According to the American media, the Loyalsville club expects to reach an official signing with Wang Frost, who is in the United States for training with the Chinese women's national team, within a week. Wang Frost has revealed that her plan to stay in the ocean is expected to be implemented in July and August when she mentioned her future plans not long ago. This is the right time to do so, and all the signs seem to indicate that this is not a coincidence.
It is reported that Major League Soccer's rules for attracting players do not mention transfers, but rather require players to be free to join after the draft. This means that Wang Frost must first become a free agent, i.e., complete the termination of her contract with the Wuhan Women's soccer team, before joining Loyalsville. Loyalsville's attitude towards Wang Frost's signing suggests that the Wuhan Women's soccer team may release the player with a contract, giving her the boost she needs to continue her career.
At the same time, there is news that the recent changes in the international situation have had an impact on Wang Frost's joining process. However, according to the current development, if Wuhan Women's Football Club does not block Wang Frost's free departure, the official announcement of her joining Loyalsville is just a matter of timing.
