Maxi offer from Saudi Arabia for Gianluigi Buffon

Maxi offer from Saudi Arabia for Gianluigi Buffon

There is also 45-year-old Gianluigi Buffon in the sheikhs’ sights. According to Corriere dello Sport, the former Juventus goalkeeper has reportedly been delivered a €30 million monstrous offer from Saudi Arabia.

“Buffon torn between goodbye and 30 million,” is the sports daily’s front-page headline. Buffon has a contract with the Ducali valid for another year and a 15 million euro salary, but he could also decide to hang up his gloves. Unless the alleged offer with a salary double his current one pushes him to continue.

Gianluigi Buffon is one of those goalkeepers who have made history in Italian soccer. Always divided between Parma and Juventus, with a brief spell at Paris Saint-Germain in 2018-2019, he has won 10 scudetti with the Bianconeri jersey, and that is a record, but two other records he holds are the number of appearances in Serie A, 657, and in the national team, 176, with which he won the world title in 2006.
