Del Piero offers to sign 'blank' Juve contract

12:52 pm on 26 February 2011

Alessandro Del Piero has offered to sign a blank contract to stay with Juventus after flatly denying he was holding out for more money in talks for a new deal.

The 36-year-old Juve captain is out of contract in June and said in a video on his official website that he was stung by rumours he was holding the club to ransom.

The forward, who has made a record 667 appearances and scored 280 goals for Juve in a career spanning two decades, has played a more peripheral part this season.

The Turin giants have struggled, scoring four goals from 12 starts.
