The New England Revolution will re-sign US men's national team goalkeeper Matt Turner on loan from French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais, The Athletic reported on Wednesday.
Turner, 32, began his Major League Soccer (MLS) career with New England in 2018 and returned to the team last August on loan from Lyon through 30 June, 2026.
He filled the designated player spot on the Revolution's roster for the remainder of last season and the start of this season. Per the report, there is an option to purchase, with Turner eligible for targeted allocation money, meaning he wouldn't need a designated player slot.
Turner has started all 14 games this season for the Revolution (8-5-1, 25 points), recording three clean sheets and allowing 18 goals while making 61 saves. He ranks among the MLS leaders in save percentage (third, 76.3%), saves (tied for fourth) and goals-against average (seventh, 1.29).
A native of Park Ridge, N.J., Turner ranks second in Revolution history in wins (54), saves (455) and games started as a goalkeeper (126). He was the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2021, when he was named an MLS All-Star and made the MLS Best XI.
Turner left New England in February 2022 to join Premier League side Arsenal for a reported USD6m transfer fee. He moved to Nottingham Forest in 2023 and went on loan to Crystal Palace in 2024. He joined Lyon in the summer of 2025 in advance of the 2025-26 season.
Turner played in goal for the entirety of the United States' run at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and he has 55 career caps for the USMNT. Playing behind starter Matt Freese at the 2026 World Cup, Turner was in goal in the United States' 3-2 loss to Turkey in the last group-stage game on 25 June.
