Marco Tardelli backs Andrea Pirlo for Premier League move

Former Juventus midfielder Marco Tardelli believes that Andrea Pirlo should move to the Premier League.

The 34-year-old Italy international midfielder's current contract with the Bianconeri will run out at the end of the season and an agreement over a new deal has yet to be reached.

"Andrea is special and always decisive," Tardelli told Tuttosport. "It is not only with his free kicks he is good; if he plays well, the whole team improves.

"It's a complex and personal decision. That said, I would try Andrea in English football. Pirlo is quite famous in those parts."

Pirlo joined Juventus on a free transfer in 2011 after leaving AC Milan and has helped the Turin giants win back-to-back Serie A titles.
