The latest word out of the AS Monaco camp is that they "really want" to sign young US international Freddy Adu, currently with Benefica. According to Monaco president Jerome de Bontin, they not only want Adu for his potential on the field but also to "export the image of the club to a wider international audience." According to the club's web site, Monaco and Benefica are getting closer to working of the details of the transfer with a fee running circa 4 million euros.
The deal may be a bit easier to work out given that current Monaco coach Ricardo Gomes played for Benefica for five years during his playing days. Gomes may also be quite understanding of Adu's Olympic aspirations since he himself won a silver medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, playing as a defender for the Brazilian team.
