Andrea Pirlo wants Alessandro Nesta to make Juventus switch

Andrea Pirlo has revealed that he has held discussions with Alessandro Nesta about the possibility of the veteran defender joining him at Juventus in the summer.

Nesta's current contract with AC Milan is due to expire at the end of the season, meaning that he will be a free agent in the summer.

He has been linked with a switch to Serie A rivals Juventus, a move that would mirror the one Pirlo completed last July.

"Nesta to Juve next year? We have indeed discussed this option," Pirlo told Sky Italia.

"However, in the end this is something personal. He already plays at a great team. We'll see what he decides at the end of the season."

Nesta, 36, joined Milan in 2002 from Parma.
