Italy midfielder Andrea Pirlo has announced he is leaving AC Milan after 10 seasons with the club.

Pirlo, who turns 32 on Thursday, is expected to join Juventus.

He told reporters outside Milan's downtown offices on Wednesday that ''after 10 unforgettable years, I want to thank the club and fans for all their affection.''

Pirlo missed several months of action this season with a right knee injury but returned to help the club clinch its 18th Serie A title.
