RSL signs Danny Musovski in $250k trade with LAFC

Real Salt Lake announced the signing of LAFC attacker Danny Musovski in a trade for $250,000 in general allocation money.

The allocation money is split between 2022 and 2023, with RSL sending $150,000 in 2022 and the balance in 2023. The trade also includes multiple performance-based allocation money to be sent to LAFC, should the metrics (unspecified in the release) be reached.
