Official I André Gomes leaves Lille to join Columbus Crew | OneFootball

Columbus Crew SC have officially announced the signing of André Gomes (32) from Lille OSC.

Released from the final six months of his contract with the northern club, the Portuguese midfielder has signed with the twelfth-ranked team in the 2025 Major League Soccer season until June 2027. An option to extend his contract for the 2027-2028 MLS season has also been included in the deal.

Hampered by a series of physical problems, Gomes had a difficult first half of the season, playing only seven minutes in two Ligue 1 appearances. With Lille, whom he represented in 2022-2023 and then returned to in September 2024, the 29-time Portugal international made a total of 53 appearances, scoring four goals and providing two assists.

In the United States, Gomes is now preparing to discover the fifth major league of his career, having played in the Premier League, La Liga, Liga Portugal and, of course, Ligue 1.
