Matthew Real
26-Year-Old
Free Agent
Becomes free agent
The Union announced they've declined the option on Real's contract for the 2025 MLS season, making him a free agent.
ANALYSIS
Real was a decent backup during his prime years, but he lost his place in the squad in 2023 and was loaned to the Switchbacks in the early stages of the 2024 MLS season. The defender will look for a new team to continue his career, and don't be surprised if he chooses to stay with a USL franchise rather than joining an MLS side.
