Donovan to Serie A?


Recent reports say that recently promoted Serie A club Livorno is interested in signing Landon Donovan. Livorno's president had this to say,
“We have spoken with his representative, but we have to understand what his requests are and whether we can afford him, I know the lad since he was 18, I like him very much and even though his fee would not be a problem, I believe his wage demands exceed our parameters.“But we could arrange something with some of our sponsors in Los Angeles, just like I did with [Kazuyoshi] Miura years ago, hoping it will bring us less bad luck…”

European interest was likely after his performance in the Confederations cup. However, signing Landon will not be an easy task. MLS will not be keen on letting their poster boy go. Also, Landon is going to make a sizable amount of cash wherever he goes. At a recently promoted club like Livorno that could be a problem.
