Christian Vieri and Atalanta recently agreed to mutually rescind the player's contract after he had found it tough in Bergamo. The 35-year-old has not been able to find much playing time and was jeered by fans during a recent exhibition match.

Earlier today, reports suggested the player had flown out to the United States and would go for a trial at MLS side LA Galaxy. However, according to the club, those stories have emerged are false.

"Vieri has nothing to do with LA," club officials told Goal.com on Tuesday evening.

The former Inter's player career has dipped incredibly since he left the Nerazzurri in 2005. He has been unable to make an impact at Milan, Monaco, Fiorentina, and two spells with Atalanta since that time.

However, the veteran is still considered one of most prolific Italian strikers of all-time, scoring 23 goals in 49 appearances for the national team.
