July 13 (Bloomberg) -- Ex-Lazio and Juventus soccer player Pavel Nedved is “seriously” considering a move to U.S. Major League Soccer, his agent said.

The 36-year-old former Czech Republic international, now a free agent after 13 seasons in Italy’s Serie A, is “very attracted” by the possibility of playing in the U.S., Mino Raiola said in an interview.

“We’ve received offers from several clubs in the MLS,” Raiola said.

Playmaker Nedved may play in the MLS this season and a decision will be made in the next 10 days, Raiola added. The agent confirmed Italian media reports that Nedved is only considering offers “outside Italy.” The midfielder would join other players who’ve had success in Europe -- such as David Beckham, former Aston Villa striker Juan Pablo Angel and ex- Arsenal winger Freddie Ljungberg -- and moved to the U.S.

The player recently turned down an offer of a backroom role at Juventus and reiterated he has no intention of joining rival clubs after being linked to Inter Milan, Italian daily newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport reported.

Nedved helped Juventus finish atop the Italian league four times after joining from Lazio in 2001.

He decided to stay in Turin when Juve was demoted to the second tier and stripped of the 2005 and 2006 titles because of Italy’s match-rigging scandal. In 2003 he was named European player of the year after helping Juventus reach the Champions League final, although he missed the game against AC Milan because of a ban.

Nedved was also a key figure in the Czech Republic teams that reached the final of Euro 1996 and the semifinals of Euro 2004.
