Neither the New York Cosmos, Red Bulls or NYCFC have spoken to former Italian National Team striker and current Udinese star Antonio Di Natale about a future in the US.

However, that doesn’t mean someone isn’t interested in him.

The highly decorated 37-year-old striker has been the subject of transfer rumors for the better part of a month. He announced his departure from Udinese for this May, with Italian reports citing a future in New York — “not necessarily” MLS. Italy’s ‘La Gazetta’ cites the Red Bulls and Cosmos as potential landing spots for the veteran striker after months of rumors connecting Di Natale with New York City FC.

Speaking to sources close to each side, reports connecting Di Natale to a New York move reveal to be quite dubious.

EOS has learned NYCFC have not been in conversations with Di Natale. A league source also tells us there has been “zero contact” between the player and Red Bulls.

The Cosmos are no closer to Di Natale’s signature than their MLS neighbors. However, a New York Cosmos spokesperson did offer a statement leaving the door open for conversations.

“We’ve not had any discussions with Di Natale,” the statement read, adding “However, if he were to leave Udinese at some future point, we would be potentially interested.”

Di Natale has been with Udinese for over a decade, scoring 188 goals in 350 matches for the club. The diminutive striker has also featured for Italy 42 times, scoring 11 goals across all competitions.

A report from GianlucaDiMarzio.com claims a deal is set to bring Di Natale to MLS on a two year worth $8 million.
