Juventus and Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo is being linked with a move to Major League Soccer this January.
Both the Italian and American media are reporting that MLS' LA Galaxy are interested in the 35-year-old playmaker, who is currently sidelined in Turin with a hip injury.
According to ESPN, Pirlo could be set to replace the retiring Landon Donovan in the Galaxy squad, as the team's ‘designated player’, a rule that would allow them to ignore the League's salary cap and offer him something similar to his current €3.5m deal.

However, a stumbling block facing the move is the player's own wish to respect the rest of his contract signed with the Bianconeri.
Speaking in August, Pirlo mooted a move to the US, but said he'd only do so once his current deal with the Bianconeri expired.
