SALT LAKE CITY – After an 18-month stint with Real Salt Lake, 21-year-old attacking star Andres Gomez will transfer to Stade Rennais in the French Ligue 1.
Gomez emerged as an MLS star with RSL in 2024. While his absence will certainly be felt, he’s moving on to bigger and better things, continuing his professional career overseas.

In 23 games played this season, Gomez had 21 goal contributions with 13 goals and nine assists.
Real has had one of the best front lines in the league this year and a lot of that credit belongs to Gomez. He built a great rapport with Chicho Arango, Diego Luna, and Anderson Julio.
Not only is Gomez joining a more competitive league, but he’s joining one of the better teams in Ligue 1.
Last season, Stade Rennais finished 10th out of 18 teams. So far this year, they sit in third.

RSL has been very proactive with its lineups this season.
However, Gomez has been a staple, starting in 22 of his 23 games. Expect Julio to step up in a big way with Gomez moving on to his next club.
