http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Del-Piero-c4726 to get contract extension at Juventus FC – Serie A Update
Talismanic Juventus striker, Alessandro Del Piero, will get his contract renewed at the Old Lady by the end of this week. There have been speculations regarding the contract renewals of two Juve legends, Del Piero and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gianluigi-Buffon-c14833, but Alex finally seems
to have convinced the hierarchy that he is deserving of a new contract.
Del Piero’s contract at the Old Lady expires at the end of the season and there have been reports suggesting he might move elsewhere in search of first team opportunities. Owing much to his age, the 36-year-old is reportedly no longer a part of the club’s
long term plans, prompting many to believe that the player will finally bid farewell to La Vecchia Signora.
Juve general manager, Giuseppe Marotta, has now revealed that Del Piero and his agent, Stefano, will have a meeting with the club president Andrea Agnelli on Friday, where the striker will get his last contract extension for the upcoming season with the
Bianconeri.
Del Piero came joined the Old Lady in 1993 from fellow Italian outfit Calcio Padova. Over the years, the trequartista has transformed into a club legend, winning cabinets full of silverware with his mesmerising performances on the pitch. The forward has
won the Scudetto 5 times in his career with the Lady Killers and he also brought the Champions League title to Turin in 1995/96 season.
Del Piero’s status at the club rose even further when he decided to stay loyal to the Bianconeri cause following the outfit’s relegation to Serie B in the wake of 2006 Calciopoli scandal. Del Piero has been the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Captain-c8314 of the Bianconeri since 2001 and has
also represented Italian national team 91 times in his career.
The Old Lady are currently looking to secure a UEFA Champions League spot for next season. Juve occupy seventh spot in the league table and they track fourth placed SS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 for the last Champions League berth. With 3 games left to play in the top flight,
Juve have slim chances of making it to the elite European club competition for the upcoming campaign.
