Racing Louisville has traded the fourth overall pick of the 2023 college draft to Gotham FC in exchange for forward Paige Monaghan, $150,000 in allocation money, and an international slot for 2023.
Many assumed that Racing would be fighting to pick Emily Madril and trading the fourth pick may signify that the club is certain she won’t be available by that time.
Although Racing’s biggest issue is in defense, they only have three healthy forwards going into the 2023 season and very few wingers. Adding an experienced winger like Monaghan will help bolster Racing’s attack which scored only 23 goals in 22 games last season.
Gotham now goes into the draft with two top-four picks after they acquired the second pick from Orlando several days ago.
