Sydney-bound

FORMER Italy and Juventus forward Alessandro del Piero is joining Sydney FC in a deal that will make him the highest-profile player in the A-League. The two-year deal is reportedly worth US$2 million per season, which will make del Piero the highest paid athlete in Australia's four football codes, including rugby league, rugby union and Australian Rules. The 37-year-old del Piero reportedly turned down offers from English Premier League clubs Liverpool and Southampton.
