Del Piero will play on

lessandro Del Piero will continue playing once he leaves Juventus in June – but don’t ask him where.

The Old Lady of Italian football have confirmed that the 37-year-old will leave once his contract expires during the summer.

The club captain, signed from Padova in 1993, has admitted that he won’t hang up his boots, but he’s put his future on hold for now.

“I won’t stop playing,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“There is just Juventus in my future for now. All that I am thinking about is this Serie A season and the Bianconeri.

“The hope is that we’ll be able to do well in 2012 all of the things that we did well in 2011.”

The 2006 World Cup winner has failed to score so far this season in 12 Serie A games and one Coppa Italia tie.

Del Piero is no longer guaranteed first team football under Antonio Conte as the statistics for the current campaign illustrate.

The forward has started just three Serie A matches and played in only 296 minutes of top-flight action overall.

i hope he comes to canada or a serie a team where he will start every game

Another Italian team? No. Canada , Us or Japan i reckon. However it doesn't fuss me. I don't want his last few months with us to be about speculation but yet a celebration and time to reflect on his career with us. Therefore from now I refrain on talking about the ale post juve situation

Also cause it's too sad to talk about (:

I hope not that would make me obligated to watch MLS (if he came to Canada/United States)

I hope he plays on at Juventus

Joey Saputo can't afford him(Montreal Impact), only canadian team linked with him.

I don't want Del Piero in Canada, this country is disgrace for football.

When Juventus go too Toronto unlike Inter, then you can see the best player in the World play. That's if he goes.

who are they playing in toronto?

Well they've come the past two summers but I'm not sure if they'll be coming this year and if they do I doubt Alex will be there as he will be out of contract with the club so it really doesn't make much sense in that way since Juventus and the other clubs uses these friendlies as their pre-season training matches.

ADP said he wants to paly 10 more yrs today :/

Come on Marotta, that will be the best contract you can give
If Juventus can reach the champions league then why not keep Del Piero on, there will be plenty of opportunities for him to play and I do not see a better impact substitute- just for the fans too

And you will not find a more professional player.

Sure he slows down our play and actions but he is ADP FFS !
