Gianluigi Buffon is in advanced talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a move to the Ligue 1 champions that could mean he earns €7m a season.
Buffon left Juventus at the end of the just-completed Serie A season following a glittering 17-year spell in Turin. Having arrived from Parma for a then world-record fee for a goalkeeper (£23m), the 40-year-old helped Juve win nine Serie A titles, as well as a further two chalked off following the Calciopoli scandal. During that time he also won the World Cup with Italy and established himself as arguably the best goalkeeper of his generation.
Buffon said last week he had received offers to play elsewhere and it transpires one of those is from PSG. The French side are determined to win the Champions League and feel Buffon can provide experience and defensive nous alongside the attacking riches provided by Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.
The goalkeeper held talks with PSG in Paris on Monday and will have further discussions on Tuesday. The club, who recently appointed Thomas Tuchel as manager, are prepared to hand the veteran a contact until 2020.
Buffon is believed to be keen on the move and is likely to make a decision either way shortly.
