Buffon, stop or else?
After a small infidelity spent at Paris Saint-Germain during the 2018-19 season, Gianluigi Buffon returned to Juventus, his club of always.
The legendary Italian goalkeeper plays the role of lining for Wojciech Szczesny, having contented himself with 25 matches for a year and a half.
But according to the
Gazzetta dello Sport
, Buffon recorded the end of its bianconera story next May.
At 43 years old and while he has become the most capped player in Serie A history ahead of Paolo Maldini, Buffon would hesitate between two options: hang up the gloves or offer himself a final challenge elsewhere, with a starting place so.
For now, Buffon remains focused on the Italian Cup final scheduled for the end of the season against Atalanta, for what will probably be Turin's only chance to win a trophy this year.
And the last chance in Buffon's career at Juve.

OM in the fight with Real and Barça for Blanco (Valencia)
Great hope of Valencia, Fabio Blanco (17) will not extend his contract, which will expire on June 30, at club che.
Which makes him a great opportunity at zero cost.
According to
Mundo Deportivo
, many clubs have ticked his name: Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Juventus and Real Madrid, who have already submitted an offer to the young right-winger.
But if there are two clubs in the lot favored by his entourage, anxious not to grill the stages, they are Real Sociedad and Olympique de Marseille.
OM President Pablo Longoria had a great relationship with Blanco's family while working in Valencia.
But it is also the case of the one who managed the signing of Blanco's last contract: Mateu Alemany, now general manager of FC Barcelona.
The race for the young Spanish player is only just beginning.
Real Madrid hold on for Alaba
He broke all suspense in February, announcing that he will not extend to Bayern Munich.
David Alaba, holder for nearly a decade at the Bavarian club, is one of the most courted players at the end of the contract of the year.
PSG, Manchester City and FC Barcelona have been listed as its main courtiers, but Spanish and German media have reported a verbal deal with Real Madrid, Alaba's priority destination (28).
Information confirmed by
Sky Sports
and the well-informed Fabrizio Romano.
A pre-contract with a salary of 12 M € / year until 2025 would be in the pipeline.
The Austrian defender / midfielder has never looked so strong, having played 15 of Bayern's last 16 games in full.

Barça relaunch for Gaya (Valencia)
We talked about it last summer, this winter and we will talk about it again this summer.
The Catalan channel
Esport3
revealed, in January, that FC Barcelona seriously coveted the left side of Valencia, José Gaya.
According to the daily
AS
, the recent arrival of the former Valencian leader, Mateu Alemany, will speed things up.
Gaya, a 25-year-old left-back, has held club che since his professional debut in 2014, and even wears the captain's armband this season.
The Spain international has two more years of contract at Valencia.
Esport3 estimated its price at € 15 million excluding bonuses last winter, while Valencia had been forced to sell off several players due to serious economic difficulties.
Bayern want to extend Goretzka, not D. Costa
According to
Sky Sports
, Bayern Munich have started negotiations with midfielder Leon Goretzka, on contract until June 2022, for an extension.
German international Goretzka (26) has not missed a game when he was not injured this season, with a relatively regular starting status.
On the other hand, Douglas Costa shouldn't be making old bones in Bavaria.
The Brazilian winger was recruited by Juventus from Bayern in the summer of 2018 for € 40 million, without imposing itself.
He was sent back to Bayern on loan for the 2020-21 season and has played 20 matches, 6 of which were starting.
The Bundesliga leader is said to have no plans to keep Costa (30), who has one year left with Juve.
