Update on Freddie Ljungberg
Here’s a quick update about Freddie’s status…
- Freddie Ljungberg is no longer training with the Sounders, but rather on his own. According to Adrian Hanauer, “he is training by himself, getting healthy, getting fit. We agreed together that it made some sense to keep him away from the club as he is exploring other options. I don’t think there’s a secret that that’s happening. We just thought it was best to keep this team focused right here on winning on Sunday, let Freddie explore options. As that process plays out, we will take things as they come to us. Again, assuming something does or doesn’t happen in the next week or few days or two weeks, we will cross that bridge when we come to it.”
- Freddie has dumped Swedish agent Claes Elefalk and is now represented by Phil Smith, who is director of the First Artist cooporation. He also represents Andrei Arshavin and Emmanuel Adebayor.
- The Sounders are allowing Ljungberg to work out his options “in a collaborative effort” with the club. It appears one MLS side and one international club is interested in the Swede’s services.
