Juventus director general Giuseppe Marotta has revealed that the club will not be opening contract extension talks with Andrea Pirlo until February or March.

The Italian international’s current contract with the Turin giants is set to expire after the end of the current campaign and Marotta’s remarks have raised doubts about the midfielder’s future with the Bianconeri.

 


The 34-year-old joined Juventus on a free transfer in 2011 after his previous employers AC Milan chose not to renew the player’s contract and Pirlo could meet with a similar fate with the reigning Serie A champions.

“Pirlo’s contract? We have talked together and it’s quiet”, Marotta told Tuttosport.

“We have decided to continue negotiations in February or March.”

Pirlo has made 93 appearances for Juventus in all competitions, netting eight times and providing 25 assists.

He has also been capped 104 times by Italy and has 13 international goals to his name.
