Bundesliga side Hoffenheim are being linked with a move for Real Salt Lake right winger Zavier Gozo, whose future in Major League Soccer remains uncertain.
The 19-year-old, valued at €4.00m on Transfermarkt, is reportedly on the German club’s radar as they assess wide attacking options ahead of the next transfer window. The rumoured deal, logged on 15 May 2026, carries an unspecified probability, with no indication yet of how advanced talks might be.
Gozo is currently contracted to Salt Lake, but with no public information on his contract expiry date, there is already speculation that he could become a free agent in the medium term if no extension is agreed. That situation is likely to encourage European interest, with Hoffenheim monitoring whether Real Salt Lake will look to cash in on one of MLS’s highly rated young wingers.
Born on 22 March 2007 in West Valley City, Utah, Gozo represents Real Salt Lake City at national-team level and holds dual nationality with the United States and Côte d’Ivoire. Predominantly a right-footed right winger, he has also been used across the front line in attacking roles for his club, where he wears the number 72 shirt.
The teenager’s recent Major League Soccer outings for Salt Lake, including a home match against Western Conference opposition earlier this month, have underlined his reputation as a direct, one‑v‑one specialist, though detailed statistics from individual fixtures are not disclosed in the current dataset. His growing profile has been reflected in his market valuation, which stands at €4.00m despite his relative inexperience at senior level.
No fee has been mentioned in reports linking him with Hoffenheim and there is no confirmation of personal terms or contract length, but interest from the Bundesliga underlines the regard in which Gozo is held. A move to Sinsheim, if it materialises, could accelerate his development in one of Europe’s top leagues and shape his long-term standing for both club and country.
