Reports out of Argentina had Real Salt Lake chasing young Quilmes forward Enrique Narvay.
The 19 year-old player has created a buzz in the Quilmes ranks as a promising prospect. He reportedly had some interest from River Plate, and San Lorenzo in Argentina and an opportunity in France.
This report comes shortly after a private workout of four players for Real Salt Lake head coach Jason Kreis. In addition to Narvay, the players scouted were Nicholas Elicio, Damián Go'mez, and Paolo Cardozo
Narvay was prolific in the junior ranks at Quilmes, scoring a torrid 22 goals in 28 matches a season ago before stepping into the senior roster. He did not see senior action this past season.
He reportedly has been waiting to see what would happen with his status, as a new technical director was hired by the club. With the denial of a transfer to RSL, it was indicated that he was in the plans for Quilmes this season.
Quique is a teammate with ex-RSL’er Matias Cordoba at Quilmes, and was briefly teammates with current RSL’er Nelson Gonzales prior to Gonzalez arriving in Salt Lake this past summer.
It’s not clear if this just means that the initial offer was rejected or if this is the end of negotiations. The deal was reportedly being worked through often utilized agent Alejandro Taraciuk who has been in involved with numerous RSL-related deals in South America.
