The veteran of Turin, Alessandro Del Piero, claims that he plans to play until at least he turns 40.

The experienced footballer celebrated his 37th birthday last week. His contract with an Italian club will expire in the summer, and the club's management hinted that they do not intend to renew it.

"When will I end my career? It is not a question I would like to answer, but I hope to continue playing until I am 40," Del Piero told the Spanish newspaper "El Pais." "To be honest, I don't think about it too much."

This season in the Serie A championship, the forward has played 7 matches, starting in the lineup for two of them, but has not scored any goals. It is rumored that teams like "Sion," "Milan," and several others are interested in him.
