Atlético Madrid signed a pre-contract with Adams in November 2007, and allowed him to train with the reserve. The young Striker, who turns 18 on January 1st, stated to the Atletico web page that “I wanted to come and play in Europe and coming to Atletico is fulfilling a dream. We follow the Spanish League a lot in Ghana and it’s a country that we like for their football and the atmosphere of the matches. My goal is to stand out and grow as a footballer at Atlético”.^[3] as FIFA stated that no international transfer is allowed for player under 18. Adams will become a player for Atlético Madrid starting from January 2008 transfer window^[4]^[5]^[6]. Liverpool have made a deal with Athletico Madrid, that he will sign with them in two years time, for the agreed fee of 5mp.
