The young talents are on loan for the 2017 season, Savarino from Venezuelan club Zulia FC and Lennon from Liverpool. Savarino’s deal included a pre-negotiated (and undisclosed) purchase price, but Lennon’s did not. Real Salt Lake has entered negotiations with Lennon and his representation, RSL general manager Craig Waibel told The Tribune.
Savarino, who had interest from several clubs at the time of his acquisition, likely won’t come cheap for Real Salt Lake. However, RSL and Zulia settled on his purchase price prior to his international debut on June 3, meaning his value has increased since the terms of the option to buy were set.
