Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Boston Legacy FC signed striker Aissata Traore to a three-year contract through the 2028 NWSL season on Friday.
The deal makes Traore, 27, the expansion club's first international signing and the league's first player from Mali.
Traore will remain on loan with French club FC Fleury 91 before joining Boston for its first preseason in 2026.
Traore has nine goals and four assists in 20 matches since joining Fleury in 2024, after stints at France's Guingamp (2019-24) and Turkey's Besiktas (2019).
Internationally, she has been a fixture in the Mali lineup since 2018 when she helped the team reach the semifinals at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations.
