Maximiliano "Maxi" Gómez González (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmaksi ˈɣomes]; born 14 August 1996) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a forward for the Uruguay national team.

[2] He made his first team debut on 15 September 2015, coming on as a late substitute for Héctor Acuña in a 1–0 away win against Universitario for the year's Copa Sudamericana.

[16] In 2021–22, Gómez was sent off twice against Athletic Bilbao, once for two yellow cards in a league match and the latter on 10 February in a Copa del Rey semi-final first leg away at the San Mamés Stadium.

[18] In the summer of 2022, Valencia sought to sell Gómez due to UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations and to free up a spot on their quota of non-European Union players.

He was linked to a move to Fenerbahçe SK, whose sporting director came to negotiate in Spain,[19] but signed a three-year deal with the option of a fourth at fellow Turkish Süper Lig team Trabzonspor on 31 August.

[20][21] On 6 October 2022, Gómez was sent off after 11 minutes of a 3–1 loss at AS Monaco FC in the UEFA Europa League group stage, for a high boot into the face of Mohamed Camara.

[24] Manager Óscar Tabárez called him up for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia,[25] where he made his first competitive appearance in the final group game as an added-time replacement in a 3–0 win over the hosts in Samara.
