Andrea Pirlo explains why he is moving from Juventus to MLS side New York City FC.

Former Italy international Andrea Pirlo has revealed that he rejected offers from numerous other clubs to sign for New York City FC.

The 36-year-old's switch to the MLS was confirmed earlier today by Juventus, where Pirlo had spent the previous four seasons.

Asked why he decided to join the project at the Yankee Stadium, the midfielder told the club's official website: "I have been wanting this experience for a long time and now that the opportunity materialised I wanted to take it. This is a club on the rise and shares my same hunger to achieve important results in the league. I am hoping to win.

"I had several opportunities to play outside of Italy, but I never had a doubt in picking New York for the enthusiasm of the people that come watch the team.

"I met with the coach, Jason Kreis, and he gave me a fantastic impression of the club. He has well defined ideas in mind and I am sure we will get on well and create a good relationship to train well and try to win together."

Pirlo will join up with his new teammates, which includes Frank Lampard and David Villa, on July 21.
