Everton Luiz’s final minutes for Real Salt Lake have likely already been played, with general manager Elliot Fall announcing during the broadcast of tonight’s match that an international transfer is forthcoming.
“We’re working on a transfer internationally, and we’re trying to finalize something, which is why he’s not available in the 20 tonight,” Fall said in an interview with Brian Dunseth. “We’ll have more to tell in the coming days.”
The move answers one of the major remaining questions about RSL’s roster, and it’s a question that’s been given additional importance for two distinct reasons. The first is the rise of Jasper Löffelsend, who has proven to have surprising quality following his selection in the 2022 MLS Draft.
