He was considered by many as the true heir to Paula Maldini for the Italian national side. After countless memories, celebrations and emotions, it was time for him to bid goodbye to his club and move to a place elsewhere. A lot of clubs around Europe were looking to pounce for him but he was only looking for offers from MLS and LA FC offered him the perfect contract and the deal was confirmed last night.
