Buffon to meet Juve in March

By Football Italia staff

Gianluigi Buffon’s agent, Silvano Martina, says the legendary goalkeeper will sit down with Juventus “at the end of March” to see about extending his contract.

Buffon returned to Turin after a year with Paris Saint-Germain and has been second choice this season behind Wojciech Szczesny in goal for the Bianconeri.

“I don’t know what he will do. I don’t think he knows. We will meet with the club at the end of March and we will see,” Martina told Tuttosport.

“He is happy, he’s 42 years old, but seeing him doing so well, fit and healthy means that he’s looked after himself.

“He spoke many years ago and said that he would stop at 32, and I told him to wait once he got there.

“He had a beautiful season in Paris, Fabio Paratici often came to see his matches.

“He’s had many requests, but when Juve came calling, it was the best option for his family.”

Buffon had played seven games in Serie A since his return, keeping only one clean sheet.
