Matt Turner’s puzzling summer has reportedly taken another turn. Turner is reportedly nearing a loan move back to his former club New England Revolution, The Blazing Musket reported Thursday. Ligue 1 club Lyon is nearing its competition of acquiring Turner from Nottingham Forest, but then would loan him back to MLS as part of the plan, added L’Equipe. Lyon reportedly failed in trying to overturn Turner’s transfer, which led to the option of loaning him abroad.Turner would occupy a Designated Player spot on the Revolution’s roster for the remainder of 2025 before New England would then convert him to a TAM (targeted allocation money) player for 2026, according to The Athletic.His move to Lyon has yet to be finalized after the French club won its appeal against The Direction Nationale du Controle de Gestion (DNCG). The DNCG issued Lyon an administrative relegation to Ligue 2 due to financial issues, however, Lyon won its appeal and will remain in France’s top-flight. Turner made his name in MLS, previously playing seven seasons for the Revolution. He then made the move to EPL side Arsenal before late earning a transfer to Nottingham Forest. After losing his starting job at The City Ground, Turner was loaned to Crystal Palace last season, but only made four appearances for the London club. The 30-year-old’s reduced playing time at club level limited his U.S. men’s national team opportunities this summer. Turner was on the bench for the USMNT’s run to the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final but did not feature in the competition. A move back to MLS would provide Turner with consistent playing time ahead of a busy 2026, which is headlined by the FIFA World Cup.
