Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED – Habib Maïga / FC Metz: “We want to dream bigger! “
At 43, Gianluigi Buffon has probably not finished with football. Not extended by Juventus, the legendary Italian goalkeeper could attempt a final challenge before considering retirement. And he could be in Spain.
Atletico Madrid and Barça in line, Parma in ambush.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Atletico Madrid are in line to recruit the Italian goalkeeper to make him Jan Oblak’s understudy. The current number 2 Ivo Grbic has publicly declared to the Spanish press that he wants to go and look for playing time elsewhere. FC Barcelona could offer a role similar to “Gigi” behind Marc-André Ter-Stegen.
But the two Spanish giants could have their hair done at the post by a smaller club: Parma. The Italians will not play in the Champions League and clearly do not have the same financial capacities as Barca and Atletico. Nevertheless returning to Parma would be a beautiful symbol for Buffon, who has the opportunity to end his career where it started in 1995. The Italian goalkeeper is spoiled for choice!
Buffon to Spain
At the end of the lease at Juventus Turin, Gianluigi Buffon is coveted by Barça and Atletico Madrid.
