Giorgio Chiellini has revealed that he is desperate to end his playing career with Juventus.

The Italian defender has played a crucial role in the club's success since moving to Turin in 2005, and he is hopeful of remaining with Juve until it is time to hang up the boots.

"Playing in another team? Maybe in another league," Chiellini has told reporters. "Juve are my side. I think and I hope to close my career here."

The 30-year-old has also paid tribute to Massimiliano Allegri, who has enjoyed an impressive start as head coach since replacing Antonio Conte in the summer.

"With Allegri, there has been a reciprocal feeling immediately, to continue the way started in the previous three years and to win something at the end of the season," Chiellini added.

Juventus meet Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday.
