Nashville SC’s lengthy transfer drama finally concluded today as the club officially announced the acquisition of U.S. Men’s National Team right back Shaq Moore.
Conversations with Moore’s previous club, CD Tenerife, date back to the winter. Nashville reportedly sought to obtain Moore prior to the start of the 2022 season, but Tenerife would not finalize a transfer amid a push for promotion out of Spain’s second division.
Nashville’s front office has openly discussed upgrading the right-back position since the trade of Alistair Johnston to CF Montréal. From the outside looking in, Moore has been the primary target to replace Johnston from the beginning.
