CLAUDIO MARCHISIO could reportedly become the next big-name footballer to try his luck in the MLS.
Juventus’ iconic midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to make a decision on his future.
Italian outlet Libero claims Marchisio will make a decision in the coming weeks on whether to extend his stay with boyhood club Juventus for another season.
But should the 32-year-old decide to call time on his quarter-century in Turin, he will have the chance to immediately seal a deal to the Big Apple after seeing former team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic join LA Galaxy.

Marchisio would add even more class and quality to the side, with the ace once regarded as the best central midfielder on the continent despite currently spending most of his time on the sidelines.
A number of injuries in recent years have reduced his playing time at Juventus, with Marchisio making just 11 Serie A appearances this season.

And with the likes of Miralem Pjanic, Sami Khedira and Blaise Matuidi ahead of him in the pecking order, Marchisio could decide the time is right to finally enjoy a new experience.
A number of younger players are also coming through at Juventus, such as Rodrigio Bentancur, while a free transfer is said to have been agreed for Liverpool’s Emre Can.
