Sydney FC already announced on Friday that Del Piero had agreed to finalise a deal with the Sky Blues, with CEO Tony Pignata travelling to Italy this week to complete the move.
Liverpool made a late swoop for the 37-year-old on Tuesday, but their attempt has proven unfruitful as Del Piero has opted to join Sydney instead, and has inked a two-year deal with his new club.
A press conference has been scheduled, where Del Piero is expected to confirm his decision to leave Europe for an adventure at Sydney FC.
