Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Andrea Pirlo is close to completing a move to New York City FC of Major League Soccer, according to reports in the US.
The 36-year-old Italian legend had been briefly linked with a move to Liverpool earlier this summer, but has been in New York on holiday this week and has held talks with the MLS club, according to NBC Sports.
Pirlo starred for Juventus as they came close to winning the treble last season, before being beaten by Barcelona in the Champions League final.
Former Chelsea and England captain Frank Lampard has already joined New York City FC, as has Spanish World Cup winner David Villa; Lampard could make his debut against Montreal Impact on 13 July.
Pirlo (pictured above watching the New York Yankees) is under contract at Juventus for one more year, but has been linked with a move out of Europe.
