Gianluigi Buffon won his last title with Juventus on Wednesday and tied with Maldino as the Italian with the most trophies (26). The goalkeeper will leave the Turin club at the end of the season, a goodbye that a priori will not be accompanied by retirement.
At 43 years old, ‘Gigi’ thinks about continuing his long career and does not rule out playing even the next World Cup in December 2022. “A great emotion. Ending like this is something that makes me proud. I was very happy, because I shared many adventures with my teammates until this victorious final, even with the people and the fans: the icing on the cake ”, said Buffon in Rai Sport.
Without revealing his next step, the Italian assured that he has “had many contacts in this period and I am analyzing the proposals that I have had. The one that will be the most stimulating for me and when I find a madman crazier than me I will follow him. Lately I received a message from a manager of a company that could surpass me in madness and ambition and I like this ”.
“Make it to the World Cup? Let's see how I'll get there in December 2022. Because of the pride I have and still feel Buffon, I do not expect it and I do not want gifts, if anyone thinks that I am still a reliable goalkeeper, I am here. But the challenge is for me, to arrive in December 2022 and know that I am still strong and can be there ”, he pointed out.
