Rapids acquire D Andrew Gutman from Atlanta United

The Colorado Rapids acquired defender Andrew Gutman from Atlanta United FC on Wednesday.

In exchange, Atlanta received $400,000 in general allocation money -- $300,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024 -- plus a 2023 international roster slot. The United can earn up to an additional $150,000 in GAM if Gutman reaches certain performance markers with Colorado.

"We're delighted to add a player of Andrew's quality and experience to our roster during this transfer window," said Rapids president Padraig Smith. "Andrew is an attacking fullback in his prime and possesses the physical attributes and mentality that we are keen to bring into our group. We look forward to welcoming him to Colorado as we continue our push to get back in the playoff race."

Gutman, 26, tallied three goals and five assists in 18 MLS matches (16 starts) this season with Atlanta.

He has nine goals and 10 assists in 94 career matches (77 starts) with FC Cincinnati (2019-20), New York Red Bulls (2021) and Atlanta.

A product of the Chicago Fire FC Academy, Gutman began his professional career with Scottish Premiership side Celtic FC in 2019.
