That the New England Revolution re-signed Carles Gil isn’t of itself anything special. That they made him one of the highest paid players in MLS is, in and of itself, a sign of purpose from a club that has only given lip service to being ambitious for much of their existence.
Gil, one of the premier midfielders in MLS, has signed a deal that will keep him in Foxboro until 2024. In seven games this season, Gil has a goal and four assists and is a clear frontrunner at this stage for MLS MVP.
