Del Piero’s former agent has revealed that the Italian international has always preferred Juventus over other clubs and Juve should review their decision.
Claudio Pasqualin was giving an interview to TMW and he shed light on the commitment Del Piero has shown for the club during the prime of his career. He mentioned that there
is no shortage of suitors for the legendary player during the peak of his career. He further mentioned some of the clubs interested in the star striker, and commented:
“Del
Piero is Juventus. During the prime of his career he rejected Manchester United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. He did that for love.”
The veteran’s future has been under constant speculation after an official Juventus statement last October made it clear that Juventus and Del Piero will be severing ties
by the end of the season. Despite the statement, Pasqualin was hopeful that the owners of the Turin giants would re-consider their decision given his services to the club.
Reflecting on his opinion on how Del Piero needs to be treated, his former agent went on to state:
“His future has to be Juventus. I hope that [President Andrea] Agnelli can make a U-turn on the decision made. I hope he can play for another season and then take up a role
as a director at the club. Juventus wouldn’t be making a mistake in keeping him.”
His previous representative felt that the veteran’s experience would prove to be vital for all the youngsters as Del Piero represented Juventus in everything he did. Pasqualin
further went on to state that a decision to install Del Piero as one of the club’s directors would not be unprecedented as Pavel Nedved had been hired as the club’s director too. He mentioned:
“That happened with Pavel Nedved too. Del Piero is part of Juventus history and he therefore should also remain.”
Del Piero has only played for two clubs in his entire career, and made the switch from his previous employers, Padova, to Juventus in 1993. However, Juventus’ reluctance
to keep him at the club has meant that the Bianconeri star is looking for other potential suitors.
