Del Piero's contract expires at the end of this season and Agnelli claims that Juve's all time leading goalscorer will be moving on.



''The unique link between the old Juventus and the new Juve is our captain, Alessandro Del Piero,'' Angelli was quoted as saying on his club's official website.



''The link between the Stadio Comunale, Stadio delle Alpi to Stadio Olimpico to the Juventus Stadium is our captain Del Piero. He wanted to stay with us for one more year, and this will be his last season wearing the black and white jersey.''



Del Piero also holds the record for most number of appearances for Juventus, scoring 285 goals in 682 games. He has won five Serie A titles, one Serie B, four Supercoppas, one Coppa Italia, the Intertoto Cup, the Super Cup and the Champions League.
