Buffon to make a decision on PSG within week

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi suggests that Buffon can replace the French club's no. 1 goalkeeper Alphonse Areola

 

MILAN, Italy – Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon said Monday, May 21, that he will make a decision this week on whether he will be joining Paris Saint-Germain.

Buffon, 40, played his final game for the Italian giants in a 2-1 win over Verona on Saturday, capping a 17-year career in Turin that harvested 7 consecutive Serie A titles.

“PSG? I need a week to be calm and [to] analyze everything. These aren’t simple choices. At 40, you can’t make decisions in the heat of the moment,” Buffon told Sky Sports Italia after playing in former Italy team-mate Andrea Pirlo’s testimonial at the San Siro on Monday.

“Do I speak French? No,” he added.

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi earlier in the day poured cold water on suggestions Buffon could step in to replace the French club’s number one goalkeeper, Alphonse Areola.

Al-Khelaifi told L’Equipe sports daily: “He (Buffon) is a fantastic goalkeeper, he’s very charismatic and is a true gentleman. I’m sure all the clubs want him.” – Rappler.com
