Giorgio Chiellini ‘approached by TWO MLS clubs over free summer transfer with Juventus legend’s contract expiring’

GIORGIO CHIELLINI is heading for the MLS as two teams fight for his signature, according to reports.

The Juventus legend looks poised to leave the club this summer after 18 YEARS.

Chiellini has played more than 400 league games for Juventus over 18 years and is still considered a key figure at the age of 37.

The strong central defender also announced his international retirement last month, meaning he will miss Italy’s clash against Argentina at Wembley in June in the first ever Copa EuroAmerica clash.

And transfer guru reckons he is heading for America.

He tweeted: “Giorgio Chiellini will leave Juventus at the end of the season and MLS clubs approached him since April: two bids already received, including one from Los Angeles FC.

“Chiellini hasn’t made any decision yet – while Juventus will 100% sign a new centre back this summer.”

Romano had previously reported that Chiellini is “tempted by the possibility” of a trip over the North Atlantic Ocean.

He would follow countryman Lorenzo Insigne, who will join Toronto FC in a surprise free transfer after the Serie A season is over.

Insigne will leave boyhood club Napoli 16 years after joining as a 14-year-old.

Chiellini insists that he has not made any decision on whether to continue playing in Turin yet.

He added: “My love affair with Juventus is not ending, it will never end.

“Of course, from now to the end of the season I do have to evaluate everything, talk to my family about what is best.

“Let’s reach fourth place [in Serie A] first and win the Coppa Italia, then we’ll sit down with my two families – at home and Juventus – to figure out what is best for everyone.

“It was the same last summer, I took time and didn’t sign the new contract until after the Euros.

“At my age, you can’t look too far into the long-term, but that’s only natural, it’s all fine.”
