Buffon 'to spend one more season away from Juventus'

Veteran Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is reportedly considering spending one more season away from Turin before retiring.

The 43-year-old has spent 19 out of his last 20 seasons at Juventus, registering 322 clean sheets in 681 games for the Old Lady.

Buffon moved to Paris Saint-Germain for the 2018-19 season in a rotational role with Alphonse Areola, winning the Trophee des Champions and the Ligue 1 title in his single season at the French champions.

The Italy international moved back to Juventus the following season despite Wojciech Szczesny being first-team keeper at the Serie A giants.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Buffon is now considering one final year away from Juventus, with his contract drawing to a close at the end of the season.

Buffon won the World Cup for Italy in 2006, in addition to 10 Serie A winners' medals, but is set to conclude his career without winning the Champions League.
