 WASHINGTON (AP) - Major League Soccer insists Freddy Adu will play for D.C. United for the "forseeable future," denying a British newspaper report of a deal that would send the 16-year-old prodigy this year to Premier League power Chelsea.
The Times of London reported that Chelsea is in advanced stages of negotiations with MLS, which holds Adu's rights, for a transfer fee of about $8.7 million.
"We haven't had any discussions with any club about a transfer for Freddy," MLS deputy commissioner Ivan Gazidis said Tuesday. "He plays for D.C. and will be playing for D.C. for the foreseeable future."
