The prolonged return of Yura Movsisyan to the Claret-and-Cobalt came to a conclusion today when the Armenian national completed a transfer from Spartak Moscow today. He returns to Real Salt Lake loan with the option to buy.
After playing for Randers FC and FC Krasnodar, Movsisyan signed the most expensive contract extension with Spartak to keep him there until the 2019 season. Reportedly earning 1.5 million Euros a year, he had a falling out with the new coaching staff and was transfer listed last summer. His return to MLS seemed all but certain until the rumor mill cooled down and the Spartak negotiations froze.
