Buffon, 44, recently spoke to the media today and said he would consider playing in the next World Cup if the status was OK.

Buffon said: "As things stand now, it should be difficult for me to play in the Qatar World Cup with Italy, and if Italy does not qualify for this World Cup, I may consider participating in the next tournament." ”
"Don't be surprised if I can still be in good shape at 48, I remember Jordan still playing well on the pitch when he was 50 years old."
