Former San Jose Earthquakes, FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake forward Arturo Álvarez appears to be on his way to Portugal, thanks to a two-year deal with Rio Ave.

Álvarez, 26, appeared in 16 games for Real Salt Lake in 2011 but struggled to find the form he showed with both the Quakes and FCD from 2005-10, and RSL parted ways with him after the season. (Arturo Álvarez firmaría con club portugués Rio Ave, Elsalvador.com)
