From Sports Illustrated's Truth & Rumours website:
Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre has reportedly admitted he would like to play in America at some point. Indeed Silvestre insists that he would want to impress in the States and not just make up the numbers. He concluded: "But I don't just want to go over to the States and wear the shirt -- I want to keep playing and do well in America."
Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero is being lined up for a move to the New York Red Bulls. MLS chiefs see Del Piero as the ideal name to energize the soccer market in New York and are monitoring his situation closely. The Juve captain has made no secret of his desire to test himself abroad before he retires and his entourage has already had positive contact with FIFA officials about the strength of American soccer. Del Piero has been in stunning form this season, which will only strengthen his marketing power in the States.
