The disgraced former managing director - who is still embroiled in a court case relating to his role in the infamous Calciopoli match-fixing scandal - believes that club president Andrea Agnelli's announcement is not the best way to motivate Juve's captain in his final year at the club.
"I don't really understand Agnelli's statement," Moggi told Radio Mana Mana. "I think it's quite dangerous as this could demotivate Alessandro. This was the wrong way to deal with a player who has done so much for the club.
"I don't know who advised Agnelli on this matter, but they've made a mistake. It makes no sense to make this statement right now. They should have waited until March or April.
"Alessandro is still Juventus' best player in terms of technique, and he still causes any defence a lot of trouble. I'm convinced that he can still give a lot to Juventus."
Del Piero, 36, has previously stated he would not play for another club than Juventus, but has not yet made any comment on whether the news would lead to his retirement.
Del Piero has won five league titles with the club he joined in 1993, as well as the Champions League in 1996. He also remained loyal to the club when they were rocked by a match-fixing scandal and demoted to Serie B for the 2006-7 season.
