Real Salt Lake have signed striker William Agada from another Major League Soccer (MLS) side Sporting Kansas City.
In exchange for the 25-year-old Nigerian, Sporting KC receive $500,000 in 2025 General Allocation Money (GAM) and $350k in conditional GAM if Agada re-signs. They also retain a sell-on percentage.
Agada is in his fourth MLS season, contributing 21g/5a in 64 regular-season games with Sporting KC. He arrived in June 2022 from Israeli side Hapoel Jerusalem.
Agada gives RSL a go-to No. 9 after they traded Cristian Arango to the San Jose Earthquakes last winter.
He joins USA international midfielder Diego Luna, Diogo Goncalves and winger Dominik Marczuk as key parts of their attack.
“We are very excited to add another aggressive and versatile attacking option to our team, as Willy brings MLS experience to our striker group,” RSL chief soccer officer Kurt Schmid said in a release.
“Willy has scored key goals in the last three seasons, across multiple competitions and in very big moments. He makes the right runs at the right times, and consistently finds himself in good spots to take high-quality chances to score.”
