Stefano: Del Piero’s Sydney deal not sealed yet

Juventus great Alessandro Del Piero has not yet committed to Sydney FC, according to his agent and brother Stefano. Sydney FC, Scottish champions Celtic, Southampton, Sporting Braga of Portugal and Swiss side FC Sion are among the clubs chasing Del Piero’s signature. The Australian side announced on their website on Friday that the 37-year-old Del Piero, whose 19-season spell with Juve ended last season, had “agreed to finalise details on a contract with the Sky Blues.” However, after Stefano Del Piero said the announcement was premature, the club were forced into amending the statement to say they would be coming to Turin early next week in a bid to effectively twist Del Piero’s arm.
