Departing Juventus midfielder Pavel Nedved is weighing up playing on next season at another club. "I have to think about whether I'll return to the playing field or not, but it's over for Juventus. As far as they are concerned, I have stopped running," he told Denik Sport.

"I need to think this over very carefully. I can no longer take time away from my family, so I must decide in my own time.

"Juventus treated me very well and the club offered me any directorial position I wanted, but for the moment there have been no steps forward.

"Now I am going on holiday knowing that my manager insists it's not over with Italian football. The situation is complicated."

There has even been a report that Nedved could take one more shot at the Champions League by joining rivals Inter.

"It would be painful for the Bianconeri fans and probably for him too," commented agent Mino Raiola.
