No way. But I'm sure he wants Europe. It's easy for him to close with teams from USA, Japan...but it's mid-August and he's still without a team, which means he doesn't want those options. I really really hope the right offer from top flight European club will arrive soon.
Why do you say no way? It's only logical now PSG would look for an old fox that will make the team understand what it is to play a CL.

Del Piero's standing ovation at Old Trafford, must being heart warming for him. Zola and Vialli had great careers in there time in England. Del Piero can light up the EPL the scene.

Rumors last week were that Ale to announce his destination on Wed.

Here's what I think, Ale wants to play in Europe and by wants I mean he's hungry and eager to play European football but the difference between European clubs and LA lets say is the big wage. That's the main reason IMO he's taking his time calmly to decide what he wants.

I'm not sure it's about money, I think it's more about the project. Any European club that wants him will offer him decent salary, cause they know that even without playing, the name Del Piero makes money. So maybe they'll give him a little less than in the MLS, but enough to make him stay in Europe. I think maybe all the offers he got from Europe so far are from clubs like West Ham, Tottenham and not top flight clubs, and he keeps waiting the right offer. BTW, I think that he may even wait till September, October, and not sign in the MLS, cause the season there is almost finished. Lets say he signs with a club from the MLS in September, how many games he has till the end of the season? 5? 6? And then a long vacation till March? That doesn't make much sense. He wants Europe, let's just hope big club will approach him.

I never said it's about money, if it was he would have already signed a contract. I think it's the big gap between two things:

1- Sign for European team (EPL) most likely, not guaranteed to always play/start with acceptable wage
2- Sign for lets say MLS team, play regularly in their first 11 with huge wage contract


I think he wants the first one more though but it's only normal to take your time and evaluate everything. It's not about figures itself.
