"The Paraguay international joined The Reds from Olimpia last August, making three appearances in the Sky Bet Championship under Steve Cooper last season.
"The 22-year-old will now link up with Real Salt Lake for the remainder of their season. Pablo Mastroeni's side currently sit fifth in the MLS Western Conference table.
"We wish Braian all the best for his loan spell in the USA."
Real Salt Lake confirmed that Ojeda will join them "pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and work visa".
“Braian is a dynamic, two-way midfielder who will bring another option to our already talented group in the center of the pitch,” said RSL General Manager Elliot Fall. “He is a player hungry to compete and develop, while also bringing valuable international experience from his time with Nottingham Forest and Paraguay. We look forward to getting him on the ground in Salt Lake and competing for minutes soon.”
