Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has revealed that he will make a decision on joining Paris Saint-Germain this week.
PSG appear to be in pole position for Buffon, who will end his 17-year-old association with Juve this summer, but the veteran made it clear nothing was set in stone with the French giants.
“My lasting memory of Juve and Inter? Happiness and the possibility of having been able to wear such prestigious jerseys, as well as rapports of friendship and brotherhood,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“After that, I think of this passionate and deep love with the fans. I don’t think there was a better way for me to end my spell with Juve.
“PSG? I need a week to be calm and analyse everything. These aren’t simple choices. At 40, you can’t make decisions in the heat of the moment.
“Pirlo’s testimonial? There’s been a huge response from the fans, and I must say Andrea did well to get so many champions to participate.
“’Popopopopo’ sung by the fans? It gives you goosebumps. My last match in a Juventus shirt? I was very calm because I received so much human warmth and esteem.
“For me, it was a victory: it's as it was a harvest of everything that I’d sown. It made me proud and gave me this serenity and peace.”

If he does this and they draw Juve in the UCL, what then...??? Is he going to sit it out because it’s ‘too emotional’. He definitely has the quality but that’s just asking for trouble.
he might sit in the bench

Buffon not retiring at Juve will be more heartbreaking than our UCL losses!!! This news feels like a punch to the gut

I’m not ready with this. Do you think that it’s because Juve can’t offer him first choice GK if he renew his contract?

I’m really sad about this, I will always support him, but I think it’s a wrong decision, I won’t blame him though, it’s a tempting offer, but I wish he retired in black and white

According to Sky he will be offed €4m per season, considering how much he already earned that’s don’t really convince me, he would get more in MLS

What if it was and the purpose is to bank on as much money as possible before hitting retirement?

This is certainly is as bad decision as when Alex was gone to Sydney and Delhi Dynamos.. also convince me even more that this wasn’t his decision to leave..

So he will probably play against Juve before he retires? Hate when legends do this to their clubs

Why? He could've played in Spain, Germany or England. He would have a better league with some competition and a better chance at winning the UCL. I don't get it. I'm really disappointed.

He deserves the Championship,and unlike Totti his last 2 years, he is still able to be at level for sure !

If it happened I would be disappointed but not angry. We need to remember that he gave us his heart and soul when he stayed with us for 17 + years. We lost finals and we went to Serie B. We also need to remember that football is a business. I hated the way we didnt extend Del Piero's contract. So let us thank him and move on.

PSG should consider signing big players for other teams in League One to be able to compete with them for the league title

So sad at this age where he should b retiring as a player n remain the club of his heart, whereby he will always be revered as a Legend..

This man should retire honourably. He has won several cups both national and club level. Moreover, age is not on his side. I wonder what these clubs who want his signature see in him.

Buffo should not go he will cost them goals yes he was the best long ago . But a 40 year old man just isn’t world class so people stop saying he should go . There’s other keepers waiting their turn Buffon is done he knows it
