Sophia Wilson 2026 SZN Loading… ⚽⁣ ⁣ Sophia Wilson is set to return to the Portland Thorns in 2026 after news broke that the star forward is expected to exercise her player option in her existing contract. Per @Sportico, the option is worth $1 million — a record annual salary for an NWSL player. 🔥⁣ ⁣ Wilson played a key role for the USWNT in winning gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She missed the 2025 season while pregnant. She and her husband, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson, welcomed their daughter Gianna in September. 🥺⁣ ⁣ This comes at an interesting time, given the league’s current discussions around contracts. Earlier this month, the NWSL vetoed the Washington Spirit’s multimillion-dollar contract offer to forward Trinity Rodman, who is currently a free agent after spending her first five seasons with the Spirit. 👀⁣ ⁣ We’ll keep you updated as the story progresses. ✍️⁣ ⁣ (c/o @sportico)⁣ #womenssports #soccer #sphiawilson #nwsl ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
