ANDREA PIRLO IS likely to line out alongside Juventus team-mates Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba in the middle of the park for Saturday’s Champions League final against Barcelona.

However, if reports surfacing today are to be believed, the Italian midfielder could be set to join New York City FC in the summer. AS claim that the 36-year-old World Cup winner has agreed to link up with Frank Lampard and David Villa as a Designated Player for the MLS outfit.

The former AC and Inter Milan star has spent the past five years in Turin, winning four Serie A titles along the way, but this weekend’s game in Berlin could be his last in the famous black and white.

Recently-formed franchise New York City, who are part-owned by Manchester City and the New York Yankees, are currently bottom of the Eastern Conference after 13 games played and are in need of quality reinforcements.
