Freddy Adu’s expected move to Benfica is complete after passing a physical yesterday.
Adu signed a five-year deal and is expected to take part in the Champions League with his new team.
After a sparkling performance in the u-20 World Cup Adu’s time to move on became apparent and needed.
Adu will now move on to Portugal not as a novelty because of his age but as another player hoping to make a difference for Benfica. The move to Benfica seems to be a good fit based on the Portugues league and seems this best opportunity for Adu to get playing time as opposed to being on the bench of a Super Club.
At this moment of his career it is time for Adu to get a fresh start in Europe.
