Andrea Pirlo wanted by New York City FC?

Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo has reportedly accepted an offer to join New York City FC.

The 36-year-old's contract with the Bianconeri does not expire until next summer, but he has been heavily linked with a move away following the Champions League final.

According to AS, New York made their move for the Italian international when their plans to sign Xavi from Barcelona failed.

Pirlo has won the Serie A title in each of his four seasons at Juventus.
