LISBON, Portugal - American soccer star Freddy Adu will move from Portugal’s Benfica to play with Monaco next season in the French league.
Benfica said late Monday that the 19-year-old midfielder will join Monaco on a season-long loan, and the French club then will have the option of signing him to a permanent contract.
Adu joined Benfica in July last year but started only two matches, scoring five goals in 21 appearances as the team finished fifth in the Portuguese league and had three different coaches in an unsettled season.
He will play with the U.S. team at the Beijing Olympics next month and is then expected to join Monaco, which finished 12th in the French league last season.
