This is something that will get Pirlo's attention. By all accounts, the Italian National Team is his #1 priority at this point of his career (besides the paycheck we give him). I would predict a loan might be the minimum that results from this, but I'm also wondering if Pirlo would actually ask for a full transfer back to Europe.
I think we'd be ok with that. Open up another DP spot again.

Conte added "if Pirlo returns to Italy I would be very pleased. He could train properly and would still make an impact. My fear is that by staying away he could lose all that."
