Former Fiorentina, Roma and Bologna striker Dani Osvaldo could be coming out of retirement to play for Banfield in Argentina.

Osvaldo retired in 2016 after playing three games with Boca Juniors, saying he had become disillusioned with football.

He formed a rock group, called Barrio Viejo, and appeared on the Italian version of Dancing with the Stars, finishing in third place.

Now Argentine newspaper Ole report that the former striker could be making a return, with Superliga side Banfield offering a six-month contract.
