Juventus star Pavel Nedved has admitted that the Turin giants could decide to sell him in the future.
The Czech ace says he would like to end his career with the Bianconeri but he has revealed that his club may have different ideas.
"It is my objective to close my career with Juventus but they may decide that they don’t want me anymore next year," he stated.
"Nothing and nobody stands in the way of Juventus, a club that quite rightly looks closely at their financial situation.
"They’ve already sold Zinedine Zidane in the past and they could so the same with me. However, I am keen to honour my contract."
Nedved’s current deal expires in 2006 and it was his intention to retire from the game. Yet he also states that he may be tempted to carry on.
"I promised my wife that I would call it a day in 2006," he noted. "I may continue if she lets me."
Chelsea are known admirers of the former Lazio star who would fetch around £20m after his 2003 Golden Ball triumph.
Juve may be tempted to sell as the club expects to make a financial loss for the first time in seven years.
Meanwhile, Juventus have been boosted with the news that they will play the second leg of their Coppa Italia Final against Lazio in Turin.
The first leg takes place in Rome on March 17. The return is set for the Stadio Delle Alpi on May 12.
