Freddy Adu signs for Philadelphia Union; Simon Vukcevic on the verge of a Premier League switch
Freddy Adu signs for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philadelphia-Union-c40231 on a free transfer from Benfica
American International, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Freddy-Adu-c14145, has chosen to return to the MLS after his contract with Portuguese giants, Benfica, ran out earlier this summer. The 22-year-old had been with the Lisbon outfit since his move from Real Salt Lake but failed to nail down
a berth in starting eleven at the club.
Primarily playing as an attacking midfielder or a winger, Adu had to fight for a place in the squad with the likes of Oscar Cardozo and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuno-Gomes-c28237. As a result, he was mainly utilized as a substitute and an impact player.
Despite spending most of his time on loan at different clubs, the former D.C United man has not entirely proven his critics wrong during his spell in Europe and will now look forward to familiar surroundings with Philadelphia back home.
While the attacker has failed to make the most of his European adventure, his stint in the Portuguese Primeira Liga saw him make a surprise entry in Bob Bradley’s squad for the CONCACAF Cup and played some of his best football in an ultimately disappointing
campaign for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/United-States-c3034.
Young of age and full of bludgeoning potential, Freddy Adu can still be a star but it is uncertain whether he does that with Philadelphia.
Sporting Lisbon’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Simon-Vukcevic-c33571 on the verge of a move to the English Premier League
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montenegro-c2959 International has failed to secure a place in the Sporting line-up and the arrival of new stars will now see him make a switch to the English Premier League, where Bolton Wanderers are reportedly interested in him.
Vukcevic was signed by the Lions from Saturn Moscow Oblast but his time at Jose Alvalade has seen him make only 77 appearances in four seasons. The arrivals of players such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricky-van-Wolfswinkel-c31131 have further dented his chances of making
an impact at the helm.
The former Partizan man’s unwanted status at the club was confirmed by Sporting official, Luis Duque.
"He will leave. That is a subject which is being solved,” said Duque.
Bolton are reportedly interested in Vukcevic and will be willing to pay the €2 million that Sporting are demanding in exchange for his services.
