Alessandro Del Piero open to Juventus return

Alessandro Del Piero claims that he would never rule out a return to Juventus after spending 19 years with the Italian giants.

Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero has revealed that he would be open to a return to the Bianconeri before retiring from football.

The 39-year-old - currently with Sydney FC - called time on his 19-year stint with the Italian giants in 2012 in favour of a switch to Australia.

Del Piero's contract with the A-League outfit expires in May and the former Italy international - who turns 40 in November - claims that he would never reject the opportunity to re-join his beloved Juve.

He told Rai Sports: "I cannot rule out a return to the club I hold so dear to my heart.

"Throughout my life, I have never closed the door on anything or anyone, let alone a possible return to Juventus.

"The choice of Australia has been a choice of life and curiosity. I wanted to compare myself with a different world."

The forward registered over 600 appearances for Juventus since joining the club in 1993.
