What happened: Diego Luna is likely headed for a knee procedure to determine the extent of his injury absence, with an expectation he will be out for months. Luna also had summer offers from a Spanish club, but all parties decided he would stay at Real Salt Lake for the rest of the 2026 season.

Why it matters: That leaves Real Salt Lake without a key attacker during the late MLS regular-season push. It also changes Luna's transfer outlook after that summer interest, with a move now looking more likely after the season.

What to watch: The next step is whether Luna undergoes the procedure and how Real Salt Lake updates his status. His transfer situation is likely to come back into focus once the recovery timeline is clearer.
