Juventus legend Del Piero ponders Asia move

Juventus legend Alessandro del Piero admits he intends to play on this coming season.

He has not yet decided on his next move, but dropped a few hints that point towards Japan or China.

"Obviously returning to Juve represents an option for the future, as I still have my house in Turin and could never say no to Juve. I am far too tied to the Bianconeri world.

"However, right now I am looking at other projects and have to consider the present. Within two weeks it will all be defined.

"America and Japan are two valid options, but there are others too. I have to consider many things before deciding. First of all, Tobias starts school next year and therefore we need stability.

"Some Leagues start in the summer, others in October or even January. My status as global ambassador for the Asian Cup, with the Final played right here in Sydney in January, could perhaps take me in this direction."
