Del Piero makes Juve pledge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While rumours swirl around of a $60m offer for Steven Gerrard, Alessandro Del Piero has pledged the rest of his career to Juventus.
Newspapers in England maintain that the Liverpool midfielder is their number one target once the Bianconeri achieve promotion into Serie A.
Gerrard had already been linked with a move to Turin before the Calciopoli scandal, as confirmed in a quote by director of sport Alessio Secco.
“He is a great player and has been a dream of ours for some time,” confessed the transfer guru to 'The News of the World'.
Meanwhile, another figure is looking to the future with rather more certainty, as Del Piero celebrated his 500th official appearance for the club with a goal in yesterday’s 4-2 win over Bari.
“I would like to stay on and celebrate even after my contract expires in 2008,” said the captain. “If this is the present, then the future looks bright. I just don’t see myself in another jersey.”
He was the first of the Juventini to pledge himself to their cause following the demotion to Serie B this summer.
While other stars such as Gianluigi Buffon and David Trezeguet also remained, they have made it clear they could request a transfer at the end of the season if the team isn’t immediately capable of challenging for the Scudetto.

This was expected.. nothing new
Del Piero claims Red Devils snub
Alessandro Del Piero has claimed that he turned down the chance to join Manchester United in the summer.
Sir Alex Ferguson attempted to bring the World Cup winner to Old Trafford after Juventus suffered relegation due to a match fixing conviction.
However Del Piero decided to remain with the Bianconeri, and the club's all-time record goalscorer has gone on to make his 500th appearance for the club in Serie B this season.
Now the cultured forward has revealed how he resisted the lure of United to try and secure his legacy at Stadio Delle Alpi.
"It's all true. I could have been a Red Devil," said Del Piero in The Sun.
"Manchester United representatives contacted me in August.
"At first I was flattered, but I never really thought of leaving Juventus.
"I've been playing 13 years in this club and I want to finish my career here. I'm sure Alex Ferguson understood my decision."
The United boss did not manage to strengthen his attack in the summer, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has since returned to full fitness and the club have also recruited Henrik Larsson on loan.
