Pirlo: 'Lampard, come to Juve!'

Andrea Pirlo has invited Chelsea hero Frank Lampard to Juventus. “If he wanted to try at playing in Italy, I would welcome him at Juventus for sure.”

The England midfielder is 34 and his contract at Stamford Bridge expires in June, so he has been linked with swoops by Lazio and Inter.

Pirlo, who is a year younger than Lampard, believes Turin would be an even more suitable destination.

“I can only make comment on what I see,” he told American television. “And from what I see, Lampard is still one of the best central midfield players in the world.

“If he wanted to try at playing in Italy, I would welcome him at Juventus for sure. In Italy, Frank would comfortably have another four years at the top level.”

At his age i think he would accept a rotational role. He can have the cup games and a few games in Serie A as a starter, plus plenty of substitue appearances. I would welxome him. Class player.

he can rotate with pirlo but where does that leave Marrone ?

Lampard, Pogba, and Marrone as first choice backups for MVP. All 3 of them xan play as DMs, B2Bs, or DLPs.

A player like Lampard can always contribute something!

For me the coolest part of that quote is that Pirlo intends to play at least another 4 years, and I'm not even a Juventus fan.
