Parma, Gianluigi Buffon’s future defined

Parma, Gianluigi Buffon has made his decision.

After several weeks of uncertainty, Gigi Buffon has reportedly made his decision regarding his future. According to reports from “Sky Sport,” the former Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper, after rejecting a pharaonic offer from Saudi Arabia, has decided to say goodbye to playing soccer after an honorable 28-year professional career.

In fact, the player’s agent Silvano Martina will negotiate with Parma in the coming days to terminate his contract, which expires in 2024. Afterwards, the class of 1978 will be able to officially announce his retirement.

Waiting for Buffon would be the Italian national team, which could appoint him head of delegation.

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 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 and came close to success at the 2012 European Championships, won by Spain in the final against the Azzurri.
