European club set to offer an insane amount of money for just a sliver of Andrea Pirlo

The loan market is usually used by clubs who cannot afford massive pricetags.
But things change just a little bit when Andrea Pirlo is involved. We're approaching the annual MLS loan raid and the Italian playmaker is top of the wishlist for a number of European clubs. Many expected Pirlo to return to Inter, the club for whom he appeared just 22 times as a youngster, but it's a less obvious side that have thrown their hat into the ring in extraordinary circumstances.
Gazzetta World report that Turkish club Antalyaspor are willing to offer the New York City FC midfielder €2 million to join up with them in the MLS off-season.
That works out as just eight games in the Turkish Süper Lig which means that Pirlo could find himself earning €250,000 for every game he plays.
We would call that silly money but it's Andrea Pirlo so we call it a bargain.Explore more on these topics:
