Italian forward Sofia Cantore has been transferred to the Washington Spirit from Juventus FC, the club announced Wednesday. Cantore is signed through the end of the 2027 season, with a team option for 2028. The club did not disclose the transfer fee, though some reporting suggests that Washington may have paid a release clause of 300,000 Euros (approximately $345,000 USD). Cantore, 25, will occupy the ninth and final available international roster spot for the Spirit, and will be able to join the club after the international transfer window opens July 1. Cantore has appeared 37 times for the Italy women’s national team, including three appearances at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
