Real Salt Lake acquired Brazilian striker Elias Manoel from the New York Red Bulls on Friday.
RSL also received three selections in Friday's 2025 MLS SuperDraft and a second-rounder in 2026.
In exchange, New York received $700,000 in general allocation money and retainseda sell-on percentage for Manoel.
NYRB will get $550,000 in GAM in 2025 and $150,000 in 2026.
"Adding a young, dynamic striker in Elias to our roster is critical," RSL chief soccer officer Kurt Schmid said. "As we prepare for multiple competitions and a gauntlet of games in the early-season schedule, we believe Elias will hit the ground running in our setup.
"He knows the league, works hard on both sides of the ball, and we are excited to welcome him to Utah for the 2025 preseason, which starts in 21 days."
Manoel recorded eight goals and four assists in 33 MLS matches (17 starts) in 2024, helping the Red Bulls reach the MLS Cup final. Since joining NYRB in 2022, he has tallied 13 goals and 10 assists in 67 matches (41 starts).
"We want to thank Elias for all his contributions to our club over the last two-and-a-half years," RBNY head of sport Jochen Schneider said.
"He has been a great player and person for our organization, and we wish him and his family all the best in this next opportunity."

Fabrizio Romano drops overnight transfer update with huge implications for Liverpool & Isak deal
Liverpool fans get bombshell Alexander Isak transfer news
Liverpool were already, by far and away, the best team in the Premier League last season, and they were the closest team to beating eventual Champions League winners PSG, too. But they are not done trying to upgrade their squad this summer. That’s the difference between a club with ambition and one that is content with stagnation. Liverpool don’t just want to be a one-and-done team to win the Premier League title, nor are they satisfied with only winning the Premier League. Although Liverpool already signed a top-class striker who can be a short and long-term upgrade on the frustratingly inaccurate and inconsistent Darwin Nunez, the Reds want more than just Hugo Ekitike. After selling star left winger Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for a pretty penny (75 million euros, to be exact), Liverpool are driving even harder after yet another world-class striker – one who is even more acclaimed than Ekitike and closer to his prime. Alexander Isak is taking matters into his own hands Alexander Isak has been a hot topic for Premier League clubs, but if the Swedish superstar were to leave Newcastle after a career year in the 2024/25 season, then Liverpool would be his only landing spot. And it looks like Isak is putting Newcastle’s feet to the fire and is willing to push his way into making a leap to the best team in the Premier League, forming a formidable striker partnership with Ekitike at Anfield instead of at St. James’s Park. According to a report from TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey, Alexander Isak has not been showing up to Newcastle’s training camp. He even pulled out of their tour to Asia and has decided to train away from the team at home. This is a clear and obvious indication to anyone that Isak wants to leave Newcastle, and whenever you see a star player like this taking matters into his own hands and not showing up to training, you know that the player’s days are numbered no matter what the club say or do. Isak sees a superior sporting project at Liverpool, and with Liverpool showing serious interest in him, he wants to jump ship. Liverpool have a chance to sign one of the best strikers in the world and someone who could legitimately go toe-to-toe with Manchester City’s Norwegian ace Erling Haaland in the scoring charts, especially in the explosive attacking environment that Arne Slot has fostered at Anfield. This transfer is one that looks increasingly likely to happen, especially with the latest information that Isak is essentially going on striker, with all signs pointing to Liverpool as his destination.
Yankees’ Max Fried Makes Feelings Clear Before Trade Deadline
The New York Yankees acquired several talented veterans after superstar outfielder Juan Soto walked in free agency this past offseason, with southpaw pitcher Max Fried (12-4, 2.62 ERA) chief among them. They signed the latter player to an eight-year, $218 million contract, and he's given them their money's worth thus far. Fried leads New York's pitching staff in wins and ERA. The 31-year-old is also tied for third in baseball in wins, is 11th in ERA, and is 11th with a 1.03 WHIP. Still, the Yankees could use pitching help, given that ace Gerrit Cole is out for the year after getting Tommy John surgery, and 2024 AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil will make his first start of the season on Sunday. Fried was asked after Tuesday's bout with the Tampa Bay Rays if he's anxious to see what New York does ahead of Thursday's Trade Deadline, via SNY. "You've just got to take care of business every day," he said. "That's not something that we can control...We have baseball games to win." The Yankees did just that on Tuesday, beating the Rays 7-5 in a comeback effort. Fried earned his 12th win after allowing four runs (two earned) in 6.2 innings to go with nine strikeouts and two walks. The veteran also tossed a career-high 111 pitches. Over the last few days, the Yankees acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies and fellow third baseman Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals. They also traded pitcher Carlos Carrasco to the Atlanta Braves for a player to be named later or cash. New York will face Tampa Bay again on Wednesday and Thursday.
Maple Leafs Top Prospect Shatters Expectations at World Junior Showcase
The World Junior Summer Showcase is in full swing, and Maple Leafs top prospect Ben Danford is shattering expectations, truly proving how good of a player he can be. The Toronto Maple Leafs' defensive prospect, Ben Danford, is among the 44 players who were invited to Hockey Canada's World Juniors Summer Showcase. Hockey Canada finally unveiled the 44 prospects who will head to Minnesota for the showcase, after they held the roster release back while the organization dealt with several injuries, which begins Sunday and runs through August 2 in Minneapolis. Defensive prospect Ben Danford is the only Maple Leafs player invited to the annual showcase, where Canada's World Junior staff will get their first look at what their team might look like for the 2026 World Juniors, which will also take place in Minnesota in December. Danford is being called the best player at the World Juniors Summer Showcase Danford has been exceeding expectations, and one source revealed that he has been the best player at the World Junior Showcase so far. The source said Danford is steady, smart, and hard to ignore on the ice. 'Ben Danford has been the best player at the World Junior Showcase he's steady, smart, and impossible to ignore. Makes every shift count, whether he's breaking up plays or starting the rush. Canada's blue line is in good hands.' - An unnamed source The Maple Leafs selected Danford with their first pick (31st overall) at the 2024 NHL Draft. During his visit to Toronto's development camp earlier this month, the defender revealed that he's receiving mentorship from current Leafs defensemen as well as some alumni like Mark Giordano. The 6-foot-2 Danford could make for an excellent fit for Canada should he make the team. He is responsible in his own end, and he demonstrated leadership capabilities when he was named captain of the Oshawa Generals ahead of the 2024-25 OHL season.
Unlikely Tigers OF has historic game as team's offensive outburst continues
The Detroit Tigers have been unstoppable at the plate lately, and Tuesday night was no different. The Tigers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks, 12-2, giving them 27 runs in the last three games. A big contributor to their offense on Tuesday was outfielder Wenceel Perez, who joined Sam Crawford (1912), Ossie Vitt (1915) and Ty Cobb (1924, 1916, 1915) as the only four players in franchise history to have a single, double, triple and two stolen bases in the same game. Perez began his historic night with a double off Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt in the second inning before adding a single in the fourth. A monster fifth inning put the Tigers ahead 8-2 after an early 2-0 deficit, which set the stage for a three-run sixth inning that included this triple from Perez off Arizona's Jake Woodford to give Detroit a 10-2 lead. Perez scored two more runs, one in the sixth and the other in eighth, to give the Tigers their final two runs in a 12-run outburst. Overall, Perez had three hits in five at-bats, scored four runs and added one RBI to go with his historic statline. Given his performance over the past month, it was surprising to see Perez show out against Arizona. After all, he did not have a single hit the last two games, and he only recorded more than one hit once in 20 games the entire month coming into Tuesday. The Tigers were once the hottest team in baseball when they held a 59-34 record on July 8. Since then, they suffered a slump that includes a six-game losing streak. Suddenly, Detroit has won its last three and scored 10 or more runs in two of those victories. As good as the offense has been, the pitching has been solid as well with the Tigers outscoring their opponents 27-7 during the three-game stretch. Yes, the last two wins have come against a struggling Diamondbacks team that sits fourth in the NL West with a 51-57 record. Still, they have taken care of business and won handily. The next step is getting healthy and having someone to pair with ace Tarik Skubal in the rotation. Right-hander Chris Paddack was added to the 26-man roster and is set to start Wednesday, while free agent signing Alex Cobb is beginning his rehab assignment. The Tigers will go for the sweep of the Diamondbacks on Wednesday before traveling to Philadelphia for a weekend series against the Phillies. It will be difficult to top Perez's historic outing from Tuesday, but if momentum is any indication, the Tigers may only be getting started, especially if the pitching depth is there.
