Del Piero to sign extension

Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero is set to be offered a one year extension to his current deal at the club, which will keep him at the Bionconeri until at least 2011.

Del Piero is one of the longest serving players in Serie A, and is set to be rewarded for his loyalty yet again by the Old Lady, as the club offer him an extension of his current deal.

The contract signing is likely to scare off any potential suitors, as Real Madrid and AC Milan were both considering making a move for the player at the end of this season.
