When Yura Movsisyan walked into Craig Waibel's office two months ago, Real Salt Lake's general manager knew immediately there would be no wasting of words. The RSL forward said he didn't want to wait any longer to secure his long-term future at the club.
The one-year loan deal from Russia's Spartak Moscow was set to expire at the end of 2016, and Movsisyan wanted a clearer view of what was on his horizon before the uncertainties of the offseason.
"This is where I want to be," Movsisyan told Waibel.
After nearly a year of negotiations, the 29-year-old striker will remain at RSL for a while.
