Just saw a report on BR stating that according to AS, Pirlo is set to join NYCFC
Its on my app but I cant find it BR's online site.

This has been circulating for weeks now. Both the Spanish and Italian media have said it is either done or close to done. But no word from anyone inside of MLS.
If he does go to NYCFC, that should allow him and Lampard to have a blast in the midfield and push Mix way up the field close to Villa who needs some help in the worst way.
Pirlo could play 3 years in MLS. He has not sprinted in about 17 years with no affect on his game play. The only issues will be how does his body hold up to travel and the turf both of which are not kind to any player, much less a 36 year old.
If it is a done deal, I wonder if they are just waiting for the UCL Final before announcing it...
