ROME - French forward David Trezeguet told the Italian press on Saturday that he intends to remain at disgraced Italian second division leaders Juventus.

Trezeguet was one of several Juve players that tried to force a move away from the Stadio delle Alpi in the close season after the Turin giants were relegated to the second division and docked points for their part in a match-fixing scandal.

Trezeguet was not granted his wish of a move away but his attitude has now changed.

And despite facing a second successive season out of European competition, the French forward has decided to stay at the club.

"I'm very attached to this jersey that I've been wearing for seven years. I want to stay here longer, even if there will be no Champions League (next season)," he said.

"I know it but I'm ready to make this sacrifice. And without the European Cup, maybe we'll be able to win the title next season."

Juve are currently top of the second division table with a four point lead on Genoa after 30 matches.

They were stripped of their last two league titles following the match-ixing scandal.
