Buffon Gets Inundated With Offers After Announcing Juventus Exit

Buffon Gets Inundated With Offers After Announcing Juventus Exit

Gianluigi Buffon has revealed that he has received offers to prolong his playing career even at the age of 43.

Buffon announced on Tuesday that he will be leaving Juventus for a second time at the end of the season.

The former Italy international showed that he still has a lot to offer a day later, saving a penalty as Juventus beat Sassuolo 3-1 in the Serie A to brighten their chances of securing Champions League football next season.

With Buffon still undecided as to whether he will hang his gloves at the end of the season, offers have been pouring in for the 2006 FIFA World Cup winner.

Buffon has told DAZN: "For my future I will take 20 to 25 days to decide.

"I have received offers. I want to see if I have enthusiasm, motivation and desire to work hard to be Buffon again. You can't wage war alone: ​​I tried to give others enthusiasm, if someone could give it to me I would welcome it. Otherwise I will stop playing in a peaceful way."

Buffon has largely played as a deputy to Wojciech Szczesny since returning from a one-year spell with Paris Saint Germain in the summer of 2019.

He added: "It was a very good second experience at Juve. In the end I wanted to test myself as a man too.

"Accepting, even at 41, to start as second choice, is the total demonstration of my respect for Juventus. I have always been supportive. This was asked of me and I did it, because I love Juventus and all my team-mates.

"This was my exam to show what I can give as a person. Every now and then you must create the stimuli yourself.

"I have always done that, otherwise I wouldn’t have the motivation to continue playing. The lads trust me and in the end I wanted to test myself, because I was never the second choice and I had never been on the bench. I wanted to show myself in this role and I’m happy because I responded as I should, I know I can trust myself."

Buffon initially joined Juventus from Parma in 2001 and has won ten Scudetto titles and four Coppa Italia trophies across his two spells with the club.
