RSL Trades GAM For 2 Draft Picks

Written Dec 20 2024

Real Salt lake sent 75000 GAM to the Columbus Crew for the 21st overall pick in the 2024 MLS Superdraft. They used that pick to acquire GK Max Kerkvliet from the University of Connecticut. The 6-5 goalie was a redshirt freshman last year. 

Real Salt lake sent 50000 GAM to the LA Galaxy for the 30th overall pick in the 2024 MLS Superdraft. They used that pick to acquire FW  Sergi Solans from Oregon State. The striker was originally from Spain and came up in the Girona academy setup. At one point he played 2 games for their B team in a promotion playoff to the Spanish Second Tier.

It is still not known if any of these draft picks will sign first team contracts with real salt lake. I wish them all the best of luck in preseason.
