Buffon to PSG on the cards after u-turn

Gianluigi Buffon has announced that he'll play his final game for Juventus this weekend.

The 40-year-old goalkeeper called time on his international career last year and was expected to retire from playing altogether at the end of the season. This, however, may not be the case... Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Buffon refused to be drawn on whether his last game for Juve - against Verona on Saturday - would be the final appearance of his career. Acknowledging that he had received "interesting proposals", it now seems clear that the former Italian international may be yet prolong his playing days. Reports have already suggested Liverpool were considering an offer to take Buffon to Anfield. If they are (and they're probably not), word from France suggests they may have been caught napping by Paris Saint-Germain. Le Parisien claim that PSG, who reclaimed the French title from AS Monaco this season, have already been in contact with Buffon and have made clear that they are willing to offer him a two-year deal. https://twitter.com/le_parisien_psg/status/997135678587785216 The same report also highlights how the Italian press have suggested Buffon would be welcomed at Real Madrid as well as PSG. "Saturday will be my last match with Juventus and I do believe it will be the most beautiful thing to end my amazing adventure this way," Buffon said on Thursday. "What will I do next? For now I only know that I will play a game on Saturday. Until a few days ago it was certain that I would stop playing. Interesting proposals have now arrived." Buffon arrived at Juventus from Parma in 2001 for a then world record fee for a goalkeeper. As well as winning several Serie A titles with the Turin club, he also was Italy's number 1 when they won the World Cup in Germany in 2006. Although his dream of winning the Champions League for the first time was seemingly ended by Real Madrid earlier in the season, it now seems like he may have been given another opportunity by PSG. He is expected to make a final decision on his future at some point in the next week.
