Juventus say they’re ready to let captain and Alessandro Del Piero, leave at the end of the season, and the 36 year old is being linked with Fulham and QPR.
Juventus president Andrea Agnelli revealed earlier this week that Del Piero, who turns 37 next month, is playing his final season for the club which he joined as an 18-year-old in 1993.
However, Del Piero, has previously stated he intends to play until he is 40, and may therefore opt for a challenge in another country before retiring.
The World Cup winner has had plenty of interest around Europe, with the Swiss club Sion already making him an offer. Interest is reported from Premiership clubs including Fulham and QPR, and it’s thought that if the Italian veteran did come to the Premiership, it seems likely he would opt for a club in the capital.
Despite being at the late stage of his playing career, Del Piero is still on good form, captaining his team to the top of Serie A table after six games so far this season. He is the club's all-time leading scorer, netting 284 goals in 677 matches, and helped the club win the Champions League and five league titles.
