5 World Class players who rejected Barcelona

#4 Alessandro Del Piero

Juventus legend

Del Piero is a Juventus icon. He played for the Old Lady through thick and thin and was at the club for 19 years.

He made over 700 appearances and captained them for a long time. When Juventus were relegated to Serie B, the Italian had the opportunity to move away and join another European giant.

Speaking to Tuttomercatoweb, Del Piero’s agent Claudio Pasqualin confirmed that there was interest from Barcelona and Manchester United but the Juve legend rejected the move. The agent was quoted saying, "Del Piero is Juventus, During the prime of his career, he rejected Manchester United and Barcelona. He did that for love.”
