Orlando City has acquired Real Salt Lake defender Danilo Acosta on loan with an option to make the transfer permanent at the end of the 2019 season in exchange for $75,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM).
Acosta played in 12 matches for Real Salt Lake last season with 10 starts. He tallied two assists in league play last season.
Acosta, 21, was called to the United States men’s national team under-20 training camp in 2016. The 5-foot-11 Homegrown is capable of playing at centerback or outside back, according to Real Salt Lake’s website. Acosta didn’t play much at the end of the 2018 season and was subbed on just once during Real Salt Lake’s final 14 matches of the season.
