The three-time All-Star, two-time MLS Best XI selection and 2021 league MVP is in his sixth season with the Revs and has recorded 33 goals and 63 assists in 135 MLS regular-season matches (125 starts).

"During my time in New England with the Revolution, I have been able to rediscover my joy on the field and I am at my happiest when I am playing winning football for our supporters," Gil said in a news release. "I have cherished my last five years with the club and enjoy the competitive league, playing with my teammates, and our great fans."

Gil arrived from his native Spain in 2019 and captured MLS Newcomer of the Year honors.

"Carles Gil is a special talent and a tremendous professional who, as our captain, sets the tone for everything we do from his rare playmaking ability and work ethic on the field, to his passion for the club and winning mentality," head coach Caleb Porter said.

Gil scored his first goal of the 2024 season on Feb. 24 in a season-opening 3-1 loss to D.C. United.

He played for Valencia and Deportivo La Coruña in LaLiga and Aston Villa in the Premier League before joining the Revs.
