LEHI, Utah (ABC-4 Sports) – When Real Salt Lake forward Yura Movsisyan
signed a contract with Randers FC of Denmark earlier this week, he had
hoped to leave for Europe right away. But because a buyout deal
between the Danish club and RSL could not be agreed on, Movsisyan will
have to play out the rest of the season with Real. Movsisyan will join
his new team in January, when Randers will be midway through its
season.
Movsisyan has scored 11 goals in two seasons with RSL, four this year,
and a team-leading seven last season. The 21-year old Armenian said
his dream was always to play in Europe, and now he’ll just have to
wait a little big longer. He said he would have preferred to leave
right away, especially since his wife is expecting a child in
December, but he will do everything he can to help RSL reach the
playoffs for the second consecutive season.
RSL head coach Jason Kreis is thrilled to have Movsisyan for the rest
of the season. He said it would have been very difficult to replace
such a dynamic offensive presence.
Real plays an exhibition match against Club America Saturday at 6:00
p.m. at Rio Tinto Stadium.
