Buffon confirms he will retire by 2023

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has revealed that he plans to retire by June 2023 at the latest but won't rule out hanging up his boots sooner.

The 43-year old's contract with the Turin club expires at the end of the season and a renewal is yet to be agreed with the Italian champions.

Buffon, a 2006 World Cup champion with Italy and 10-time Serie A winner with Juventus, previously said in 2017 that he would retire in 2018, but he instead moved to French side Paris Saint Germain for a year before returning to Juve.

He has deputized for Wojciech Szczesny at Juve this season, making 10 appearances in all competitions.
