Major League Soccer turned a new leaf after top soccer players from European clubs (Andrea Pirlo, Steven Gerrard, and Didier Drogba) were signed up to the MLS League in the summer. Free bets forums are now fueling a rumor based on Italian reports stating that the MLS League is yet to get another star.
The reports center on Argentine International Ezequiel Lavezzi. The player is touted to be moving to the United States on a $17 million on a five-year deal. The free bets forums, however, did not give the name of the club as the club is yet to make a formal announcement.
The Argentine is currently playing for a rich French Serie A’ side Paris St.-Germain. The thirty-year-old is also being pursued by Italian Giant Inter Milan. Famous Italian newspaper La Gazzetta comes to support the news about the MLS offer as the talented attacker may make a return to Italy.
Ezequiel Lavezzi started playing for the first Italian club Napoli and represented the team from 2007 to 2012.
The Big Bucks
Reports reaching us indicate that Lavezzi’s wages would go up to $3.4 million annually if he chooses to cross the Atlantic. The figure is in line with plenty of recently acquired players that are littered across Major League Soccer.
French side Paris St. Germain is reported to have paid Italian side Napoli a figure close to $30 million in terms of transfer fees.
The amount PSG paid guaranteed that the Argentine signed a three-year contract, since the contract was deemed to expire in 2016, PSG are asking for a multi-million dollar transfer fee.
Punters trying their hand on free bets explain that the talented Argentine is a winger by trade, but he is skilled enough to man forward and the attacking midfield positions. Ezequiel Lavezzi appeared six times for his national team during the 2014 World Cup.
Punters Reasoning
Free bets forums provide football fans with up to date news and broken down details about players and the different leagues. Punters debating on one of the forums agree that a guaranteed 5-year contract amounting to $3.4 million annually is a good offer for a thirty-year-old soccer player.
However, if the same player is banking a figure of more than $4.5 million annually and has an Italian giant soccer club trying to woo him. It is reason enough to want to wait before concluding a move across the Atlantic to see what the other club has to offer.
Punters are in agreement that should PSG have failed not to sell off Ezequiel Lavezzi before the closure of the players transfer window; it is more than likely that in January he will be up. If not, then the coming summer he will be announced to be on sale.
But however, if it is authenticated that a Major League Soccer club is willing to part with $17 million in the current summer. The same bidder may come back for the player in 2016 with a better offer.
Punters are highly suspicious that the MLS club might be seeking to sign in Lavezzi is the New York Red Bulls. As a versatile player, the Argentine’s playing is highly likely to fit on the MLS side New York Red Bulls very well.
The NYRB is going out to get an attacking player to strengthen the team on all sides. The five-year-contract is, however, stepping aside the club’s intentions of buying younger players to increase their chances of better performance at the MLS!
