Real Salt Lake announced the signing of Diego Luna today, bringing the attacking midfielder officially into the fold from USL Championship side El Paso Locomotive. News of the deal was broken by Tom Bogert yesterday.
Luna, 18, played at the San Jose Earthquakes academy; as a result, RSL traded with the Bay Area club for his homegrown rights, sending $50,000 in general allocation money their way.
RSL also spent a reported $250,000 in acquiring Luna from El Paso Locomotive.
