http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Del-Piero-c4726 set to renew his contract with Juventus FC
The Juventus FC-Alessandro Del Piero contract extension talks have been going on for some time now with little success. Italian media suggested earlier that the player and the club have agreed upon renewing the deal and only financial details need to be
sorted.
Latest reports coming out of Italy indicate that the Bianconeri legend is now set to renew his contract with the club. Alessandro Del Piero is expected to meet Juventus general manager, Giuseppe Marotta later in the day to discuss the terms of his new contract.
Del Piero’s contract is set to run out in June and the club is willing to extend the player’s contract for another year. If the media speculation is to be believed, the 36-year-old will sign a one-year contract that will see him earn 2 million Euros annually
in basic salary among other financial rewards.
The playmaker joined the Old Lady of Italian football in 1993 and has been a loyal servant to the club ever since. Donning the coveted number 10 jersey on his back, the player has the honour of being the all time leading goal scorer for the Bianconeri with
281 goals. Juventus had the likes of Vincenzo Iaquinta, Fabio Quagliarella, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 in the attacking force prior to start of the season and many expected Del Piero to struggle for playing time. However, injuries to key players and
the forward’s rich form ensured that the player remained a key figure for Luigi Del Neri. La Vecchia Signora Fan favourite has racked in 33 appearances already this season, scoring 7 goals in the process.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vincenzo-Iaquinta-c36199 being long-term injury victims and Amauri loaned out to Parma FC, Del Piero will have to shoulder much of the goal scoring burden. Furthermore, the former Azzurri star will have to assist the new arrival, Alessandro
Matri in abundance if Juve are to harbour hopes of playing Champions League football next season.
