It is reported that Sydney FC are interested in signing Alex Del Piero as their new marquee player after Nicky Carle left for the middle east. The Juventus legend, record appearances and record goal scorer, was thinking of signing with FC Sion in Switzerland but has rejected the offer. Sydney are thought to have offered him a 2m contract, with CEO tony pignata holding 2 video conferences with his management team in the past few days.
This is the kind of player the A-league should be attracting as marquee signings. Del Piero is a massive legend of the sport and still has plenty to offer after guiding Juve to the championship last year with some crucial goals in the run home. he has a huge media profile and will attract a heap of interest in Australian football.
Hopefully he comes to Oz, the decision should be made in a few days
