Parma president Tommaso Ghirardi has said that Juventus veteran Alessandro Del Piero would be a welcome addition to his side.
The 37-year-old's contract with the Bianconeri runs out in the summer, and the Turin-based outfit revealed earlier this season that they would not offer Del Piero a new deal.
"I hope Del Piero can stay in Italian football. He is a great man and a great player," Ghirardi told Tuttosport.
"If he wants to remain in Italy, he will find an open door at Parma."
Del Piero, who has been at Juventus since 1993, has been linked with Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain and MLS duo Los Angeles Galaxy and New York Red Bulls in recent weeks.
Ghirardi then commented on the situation of Sebastian Giovinco, who has been linked with a return to Juventus after impressing at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
"There is an open co-ownership deal [with Juventus]," he said. "At the end of the season we will evaluate his future, based on the desires of the clubs and the player."
Giovinco will be in action for Parma against the Old Lady when the two sides clash on Wednesday at 18.30CET.
