43-Year Old Goalkeeper Buffon Reveals When He Will Retire From Football

Gianluigi Buffon has revealed that he could continue playing until 2023 although has not ruled out hanging up his gloves at the end of the 2020-21 season.

Buffon returned to Juventus for a second spell at the club in 2019 after a year at Paris Saint-Germain, and has since taken up a back-up role in the squad behind Wojciech Szczesny.

The 43-year-old, who signed a one-year extension last summer, says he could extend his career by another two years although there remains the possibility he will call it a day at the end of the current campaign.

“Look, in my head, there truly is a final stop sign, a maximum bar, which is June 2023,” Buffon told The Guardian .

“That is the maximum, really, really the maximum. But I could also stop playing in four months.”
