Italian defender Alessandro Nesta is in the verge of signing for Montreal Impact, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The veteran defender has been searching for a new club ever since he was release from his contract at Milan last month, but he hasn’t had a lot of success so far.

However, Il Corriere dello Sport claims Nesta has now agreed a one-year contract with MLS side Montreal Impact.

The Canadian side play their football in the Major League Soccer and they have recently signed Nesta’s compatriot Marco Di Vaio on a free transfer from Bologna.

Former Italian internationals Bernardo Corradi and Matteo Ferrari are also in the squad and it is believed the trio of players managed to convince the 36-year-old to join them this summer.

Nesta, who made 244 Serie A appearances during 10 seasons at Milan, is currently on vacation in Miami and is awaiting further developments regarding his future.
