The LA Galaxy are considering a bid for Andrea Pirlo.
A prospective deal, however, is stalling because the Galaxy insist Pirlo move in January.
Pirlo, 35, is under contract at Juventus through 2016 with an annual salary of €3.5 million.
Pirlo could replace Landon Donovan as a designated player for the Galaxy before the start of the 2015 MLS season.
In August, Pirlo expressed interest in a potential MLS move, telling reporters: "Why should I move? Serie A is a top-level league and life in Italy is comfortable. Two more years with Juventus, then maybe I will move to the MLS in the United States."
