JAKARTA - The former striker of Fiorentina, Roma and Bologna, Dani Osvaldo, has shown a signal that he will return to the gridiron. He will play for Banfield in the Argentine League.

Osvaldo retired in 2016 after playing three games with Boca Juniors. At that time he admitted that he was disappointed with football.

He then formed a rock band called Barrio Viejo and took part in the Italian version of the dance competition Dancing with the Stars. He won the third position.

Now, the Argentine newspaper Ole reports the man born in 1986 could return to the grass. Banfield Superliga Club is offering a contract duration of six months.

Osvaldo scored 41 goals in Serie A for five different clubs during his career. Roma became his best stop when he scored 27 times in 55 games.

Although born in Lanus Argentina, Osvaldo chose to defend the Italian national team because he has the Spaghetti Nation lineage from his grandfather. He played 14 times with a score of four goals during the 2011-2014 period.

Meanwhile, Banfield, finished 16th out of 24 teams in the first division of the Argentine League. Former Inter, Lazio and Parma player Hernan Crespo was their coach, but was sacked in September.
