Alessandro Del Piero's former agent said he turned down chances to join Barcelona and Manchester United to stay with Juventus.
The striker's contract with Juve is expiring at the end of the season, and the Serie A giants have made it clear that the 37-year-old's deal will not be renewed.
However, Claudio Pasqualin has spoken of Del Piero's loyalty to the club, and feels that the striker should stay at Juventus.
"Del Piero is Juventus," the agent told TMW on Friday.
"During the prime of his career he rejected Manchester United and Barcelona. He did that for love.
"His future has to be Juventus. I hope that (president Andrea) Agnelli will make a U-turn on the decision made.
"I hope he can play for another season and then take up a role as a director at the club. Juventus wouldn't be making a mistake in keeping him.
"That happened with Pavel Nedved too. Del Piero is part of Juventus history and therefore he should also remain," he said.
Del Piero scored in the recent 2-0 Derby d'Italia win over Inter, much to the delight of the Juventus supporters.
