Switzerland's Sion have confirmed their interest in Juventus captain Alessandro del Piero. The almost 37-year-old will leave Turin once his deal expires in 2012 and the club formed in 1909 are keen on netting his signature.

"Del Piero is a player who I really like," Sion President Christian Constantin told TMW. "I was already updated on his situation last year.

"Now, if Juventus no longer want him, I'm really interested. I'd love to bring him to Sion, I'll speak to the player and a solution is possible."

If Del Piero was to play on, it was generally thought that he would move to America or Asia - possibly Japan.

"I'll do everything possible to sign him," Constantin continued.

"I prefer to not comment on the economical aspect of such a deal though, I'd prefer to just concentrate on the player."
