An emotional Gianluigi Buffon has confirmed that he will play his final match for Juventus against Hellas Verona on Saturday.
Buffon’s professional career began with Parma in 1995, before joining Juventus in 2001 for €52 million – world record fee for a goalkeeper. He has since made over 650 appearances for the Bianconeri winning a record nine Scudetti, and five Coppa Italia trophies, as well as the World Cup with Italy in 2006.
Juventus President Andrea Agnelli confirmed that Buffon has offers to carry on playing and also offers for a role off the pitch.
