The outside world widely believed that Pirlo would leave after his contract expired this summer, and Juventus would be his next destination. According to the "Roma Sport", Pirlo's agent Tinti was even found at the Juventus club headquarters, meeting with Juventus manager Marotta. Tinti denied that they had negotiated, but admitted that they talked about Pirlo's joining. Tinti then expressed that Pirlo still preferred to stay in Milan, "I will first negotiate with the Milan club, trying to resolve Pirlo's contract issues, and then I will make a decision together with Pirlo. Of course, we won't rush." Indeed, Pirlo, who has already served in Milan for 10 years, is not willing to leave his familiar team, and Milan also wants to keep Pirlo to continue playing. The biggest disagreement currently is that the annual salary offered by Milan in the renewal contract for Pirlo is too low, while according to "All Juventus", Juventus has proposed a three-year contract worth 3 million euros per year to Pirlo. This season, under the leadership of coach Allegri, Milan finally reclaimed the Serie A championship trophy that had been away for six years. But there are also fallen players within the AC Milan squad, as the renewal of Pirlo, who has always been the absolute starting central midfielder for Milan, has not progressed. After Milan defeated Bologna last weekend, the whole team celebrated with the fans on the field, but Pirlo returned to the locker room alone. "Yes, I met with Marotta, but we didn't talk about Pirlo, this time I just went to discuss Matri." Matri's agent is also Tinti, the forward who joined Juventus on loan in winter has already helped theć–‘ma team score 7 goals, becoming the main striker of the team, and the Juventus club plans to exercise its priority purchase option to buy out Matri.
