Real Salt Lake's Andres Gomez appears to be close to a move to France's top flight.According to multiple reports, RSL and Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes have agreed to an $11 million move with potential add-ons. Should the move proceed through the contract and medical phase, it will be a well-earned transfer for the 21-year-old Colombian midfielder.Gomez is in the midst of a breakout 2024 campaign for RSL, dropping 13 goals and nine assists in just 23 matches played. Gomez joined RSL in a transfer from Colombian top side Millonarios FC before the 2023 season in a five-year deal. He showed glimpses of his potential in 2023, providing six assists and one goal in 30 matches played.El Show RSL first <a href="https://x.com/elshowrsl/status/1822668916612825136?s=46" target="_self">reported Gomez's signature.</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Real Salt Lake loses one of their promising young midfielders as Gomez combined well with 20-year-old U.S. international Diego Luna. Yet, it might have been a move the club was prepared for as it just signed FC Copenhagen star Diogo Goncalves <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-salt-lake-fc-copenhagen-diogo-goncalves-mls/bltd02227b62e023b65" target="_self">on a Designated Player contract.</a> RSL currently sit third in MLS's Western Conference with 44 points in 25 matches played.Stade Rennes will be looking to move up the table after a underwhelming 2023-24 season. After finishing in the top four in the previous campaign, Les Rouges et Noirs wrapped up the following season midtable in 10th.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

RSL were eliminated from Leagues Cup so they'll have a break from matches until Aug. 24, when they host San Jose at America First Field.
