New England Revolution and Lyon Agree Loan Extension for USMNT Goalkeeper Matt Turner
The New England Revolution have secured the future of United States international goalkeeper Matt Turner after reaching an agreement with Olympique Lyonnais to extend his loan stay. The new deal keeps the 32-year-old in Major League Soccer until 31 December 2026, with an option to extend the loan through the end of 2027 and a purchase option included in the agreement.
The extension provides continuity for both club and player following Turner's impressive return to New England. It also marks another important step in the goalkeeper's career after spending several years in Europe with Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Lyon.
A Familiar Home for Turner
Turner's return to the Revolution has proved to be a success.
Having initially rejoined the club on loan in 2025, the American goalkeeper quickly re-established himself as one of the most reliable shot-stoppers in MLS. His consistent performances convinced the Revolution that securing his services beyond the original loan agreement was a priority.
The latest agreement ensures that one of the club's greatest goalkeepers will remain at Gillette Stadium as New England continue their push for MLS success.
Details of the New Agreement

According to the Revolution, the revised agreement extends Turner's loan from Lyon until 31 December 2026.
The deal also contains:
- An option to extend the loan through 31 December 2027.
- A purchase option should the Revolution decide to make the transfer permanent.
- Turner becoming a Targeted Allocation Money (TAM)-eligible player, meaning he no longer occupies one of the club's Designated Player slots.
That roster flexibility could allow New England to strengthen other areas of the squad during the remainder of the MLS season.
Strong Performances Rewarded
Turner has been one of MLS's standout goalkeepers this season.
Before leaving for international duty with the United States at the FIFA World Cup, he started every league match for the Revolution, producing impressive save numbers while helping the club remain among the Eastern Conference contenders.
His experience, leadership and commanding presence have made him one of the first names on the team sheet since returning to Foxborough.
USMNT Experience Adds Value
The goalkeeper also returned from another FIFA World Cup campaign with the United States Men's National Team.
Although he was not the first-choice goalkeeper throughout the tournament, Turner once again demonstrated the experience that has made him one of the most respected American goalkeepers of his generation.
His international pedigree is one of the reasons New England were eager to secure his future beyond the original loan spell.
