Gianluigi Buffon starts against Manchester United and it’s reported Paris Saint-Germain are offering a new two-year contract.

The goalkeeper just turned 41 in January, but is still going strong and is playing in tonight’s Champions League Round of 16 against Manchester United.

According to Sky Sport Italia, PSG have been so impressed with his performances that they are on the verge of agreeing a new extended contract.

It’d run for another year with option for one more, meaning Buffon could theoretically play until he is 43 years old.

Gianluigi Buffon reveals how he motivates Paris Saint-Germain teammates Marco Verratti, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. “It depends on mentality.”

The Italy international spoke to RMC in France about his experience in Paris, including advice to much younger companions.

“In my view, if Kylian decides in his mind to become the Number One for the next 10 years, he can do that, but it depends on his mind.

Gigi Buffon called Paris Saint-Germain “a gift from life” and assured it’s “wrong” to make the Champions League an objective. “I’ve been trying for 24 years!”

The goalkeeper surprisingly left Juventus at the age of 40 and signed a new two-year deal with PSG.

“I had decided to retire. In my mind, I thought the only option was if Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid or Barcelona had come calling,” he told RMC.
