Italy coach Antonio Conte isn't surprised by Sebastian Giovinco's move to Toronto FC.
Giovinco will leave Juventus at the end of the season.
Conte commented: "What else should he have done? In a few years' time players will be elbowing each other out of the way to go there. The MLS will grow a great deal and not just in terms of chatter.
"I know Giovinco well and he's not going there just to earn money. It's a great opportunity, one as a player I would've grabbed. I missed out on an overseas job, as that would've been a formative experience.
"It's true that players can be at a bit of a disadvantage for the Nazionale when playing so far away, such as Diamanti and Gilardino in China, but I always keep an eye out anyway."
