Real Salt Lake announced today the official transfer of Everton Luiz to Belgian outfit SK Beveren, a club also owned by RSL co-owner David Blitzer.
Luiz’s transfer follows a new contract signed at the beginning of 2022 on a one-year deal. He played 12 matches this year, starting four.
It does not appear that there was a transfer fee involved in the deal, which is not surprising. Luiz did not hold much transfer value at 34-years-old, and there is likely some degree of friendliness between Real Salt Lake and Beveren, if just for the loan of Chris Kablan, let alone for ownership reasons.
