You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

On 2004 with 14 year of age he became the youngest professional player in US history, when he played for the D.C. United during the game against San José Earthquakes on April the 3rd. With his potential in view many European teams fought to get his services but instead he went to play for the Real Salt Lake at the end of 2006.

In the mean time he got in to a romantic relation with American singer Jo-Jo, they split in September 2006. In 2007 he was finally signed by Benfica from Portugal where he played 11 games. The next year he was traded to AS Monaco.

He played for the AS Monaco Football Club since July 2008 during 10 games (9 League Cup games and 1 Divisional league game) until recently when he again returned to play for Benfica and the Portuguese Liga Sagres championship.

Quote from "goal.com/en-us" on the July 9, 2009 article "Adu And Feilhaber Return To Europe" by Andrea Canales and Kyle McCarthy.

---Quote---
Freddy Adu's final minutes in the 2009 Gold Cup were played against Honduras, where the U.S. team maintained a draw during his time on the field.

He now returns to Portugal and Benfica, his club there, to join in the organization's preseason training in the hopes of earning the playing time that has eluded him of late.

"This will be the last game that Freddy will appear in the Gold Cup," U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. "That was part of the arrangement from the start."

Bradley emphasized what Adu must apparently accomplish in order to gain more time with the full USA national team, "The challenge for him is to get back to Benfica and start to earn playing time."

He is currently playing for the US team in the Coccacaf Gold Cup, He has started both games and has scored a goal, but he is about to leave to rejoin his club team, Benfica. He has not played much in Europe, he was loaned from Benfica to Monaco and didn't play much there.
