Bergessio close to San Lorenzo

Gonzalo Bergessio seems set to join San Lorenzo, despite interest from Palermo, Chievo and Pescara.

The 32-year-old striker is a free agent after his contract with Mexican club Atlas expired.

He has been linked with a return to Serie A and was in negotiations with Palermo on deadline day.

Pescara and Chievo are still interested in offering him a contract.

However, reports suggest Bergessio is on the verge of signing for San Lorenzo in Argentina.

It would be a comeback, as he scored 28 goals in 70 games for the club in 2008-09.
