Real Salt Lake expressed interest in Ivan Prtajin and submitted a transfer offer. Nevertheless, Prtajin turned down the proposal because he is eager to prove his abilities in Germany. With the North American transfer window open until Wednesday, Prtajin had the option to leave immediately. Despite facing challenges in securing a position in Union Berlin's first team due to limited playing time, Prtajin remains committed to staying and competing in Germany. This determination is bolstered by the fact that the new coach, Steffen Baumgart, has given him an opportunity in the Bundesliga starting lineup. Prtajin had previously moved to Union Berlin from Zweitliga-Absteiger Wehen for approximately one million euros, but his tenure there has not lived up to expectations. A transfer within Germany during the summer appears to be a more probable scenario.
