The experienced frontman had appeared poised to join the Australian side last week but the deal appeared to stall, with his agent claiming he is also in talks with Greek side Olympiakos.
Pignata now says Liverpool, who failed to sign a new striker on transfer deadline day, are also vying for Del Piero's signature as Brendan Rodgers looks to bolster his attacking options.
However, As Iunderstands the 37-year-old is not on the Anfield club's radar.
Pignata is still optimistic of signing the former Italy international, who spent 19 years at Juventus ahead of his exit in May, but says a deal is yet to be done.
"Liverpool have come in ... and they're a big club, there's no denying that," Pignata told Fox Sports. "But I think the attraction of Australia might sway us."
