Retirement remains an option for Gianluigi Buffon as he prepares to cut ties with Juve, but the 43-year-old is gearing up for yet another insane challenge and has not ruled out a bid for a spot in Italy’s plans for the 2022 World Cup.
Gianluigi admitted to receiving offers
The second stage at Turin is coming to an end for the modern day legend, with no new conditions to be signed at the Allianz Stadium. Gianluigi Buffon has already admitted to receiving offers as he prepares to sink into the free agent pool, and the veteran performer may be tempted to extend his remarkable career, with various issues now being weighed.
What did Buffon say?
After landing a record sixth Coppa Italia, with Juventus in the final of this competition in 2021, Gianluigi spoke about his future and said that a finish like this makes him proud and so happy as he has to share this winning final with his teammates and fans, providing icing on the cake. According to Buffon, fans, Juventus people, teammates and directors will always be a part of his life. The end of this relationship does not end and he thinks that he has given a lot of love, professionalism and courage to the whole world of Juventus and is proud of it. Buffon also said that everything must be over. He is 43 years old, and at this age you have to make choices that may seem unpopular, strange or even crazy, but Buffon got 43 of these because this little spark of madness allowed me not to set limits and dream in every moment of my life. According to Gianluigi, he is happy when he can dream and replenish himself with new horizons, new projects and new challenges and may not win, but Gianluigi is not interested. Buffon never played to get trophies, he played to travel, challenge himself. This is the essence of his existence.
