According to Reuters, Gianluigi Buffon, a 43-year-old veteran, will leave Juventus at the end of the season to end his long and successful career. But if there is a suitable offer, he will continue to consider playing football.
Buffon joined the Italian club in 2001 and has won 10 Serie A titles and 4 Coppa Italia titles in his career.

The 43-year-old goalkeeper joined Juventus in 2001 for a record transfer fee. In 2018, Buffon left Juventus for Paris Saint-Germain, where he returned to Juventus after a short season.
"My future is clear and this year I will end my long and wonderful career at Juventus. After that, I'll either retire or find a club that inspires me to keep going. It's a different experience to consider. ”
"At Juve, I gave everything I had and reaped the rewards. Now we've reached the end of a cycle, so I'm right to leave. Buffon said in an interview with reporters.
Since his return to Juventus in 19 years, Buffon has been Adrenas Szczesny's replacement. He has only made 12 appearances in all competitions this season. Juventus have now fallen out of the top four Champions League spots and are fifth in the table with three games left. In terms of the Champions League, the Champions League quarter-finals were eliminated by Porto, which can be described as a dismal season.
Juventus' match against Atalanta on May 19 could be the closing performance of the "youngster" if no suitable offer is received.
