On Thursday afternoon, Real Salt Lake midfielder Javier Morales will hold a press conference, following a post on Twitter a week earlier implying that his time with the club had ended. Thursday morning, RSL General Manager Craig Waibel met with the media to discuss the announcement earlier in the week that the club will retain Head Coach Jeff Cassar for the 2017 season and, naturally, the press conference shifted attention at one point toward the club icon and his potential departure.
Waibel has not at any point ruled out Morales returning with the Claret-and-Cobalt for an 11th season, but noted that in his meetings last week, the conversation never reached a point of discussing contract details or roles on the roster.
