Well, well

Looks like Freddy is on his way to Portuguese club, Benfica. As recently as Wednesday it looked like the deal had fallen through mostly because it seemed that MLS was asking WAY too much for a transfer fee, $7.5 million (at least that was the number Steven Goff threw out, sorry can't find the post where he said that). Now it looks like the transfer fee is a much more realistic $2 million. Freddy flies to Portugal tomorrow, seems like a done deal. Good for Freddy. He needs to be on a team where he is not the star. Let's just hope he doesn't get Donovan Syndrome. Surprisingly, becasue of the complicated deal that sent Freddy to RSL from DCU means that DC gets $150k and RSL's third round pick next year (which really is nothing). That $150k would be very useful towards the Juan Sebastian Veron to DCU rumors.
