Rome  - Veteran striker Christian Vieri has left Italy for a tryout with Los Angeles Galaxy days after his abrupt departure from Serie A side Atalanta.

The weekly Chi, in a report made available ahead of Wednesday's publication, reported that the 35-year-old Vieri asked David Beckham to help him to link up with the California club. Beckham is currently at AC Milan, on loan from the Galaxy.

Rome - Veteran striker Christian Vieri has left Italian club Atalanta, putting an early end to a season marred by injuries and a bad relationship with fans.

The La Gazzetta dello Sport daily reported on Wednesday that Vieri gathered all his belongings before the start of Tuesday's training session at the Serie A side.

His farewell apparently stems from the jeers he received from home fans during a weekend friendly against Swiss side Bellinzona.

The 35-year-old former international last summer rejoined the Bergamo side after previous one-year contracts there in 1995 and 2006.
