Real Salt Lake club-trained players

• Gavin Beavers · Brøndby IF · €2m
• Bode Hidalgo · CF Montréal · €400k

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
