Gianluigi Buffon has been rumoured to be joining Paris Saint – Germain.
Juventus goalkeeper has been with the club for 17years and will be leaving at the end of the season.
The 40-year-old is in talks over joining the French Ligue 1 champions but has not been confirmed yet.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi praised Buffon in a recent interview with French newspaper L’Equipe, but insisted Alphonse Areola would remain first choice under new boss Thomas Tuchel.
According to Al-Khelaifi: “We have Areola, he’s our No. 1. For sure (that will be the case next season).
He further added saying,”Buffon is a fantastic goalkeeper, he’s very charismatic and is a true gentleman. I’m sure all the clubs want him.”
Buffon who participated in the Saturday’s match received a guard of honour as he left the pitch,this was his last of 656 appearances for the Old Lady, being substituted in the 63rd minute of Saturday’s 2-1 win over Hellas Verona.
There were tears among the fans who gave Buffon a standing ovation following his 17 years with the Serie A champions.
