Buffon extends with Juventus until 2018
The goalkeeper has committed his future to the Turin
club, who have also been boosted by a player Andrea Agnelli described as
"one of our best ever signings" penning a new deal too
The shot-stopper joined the Serie A champions in 2001 for a world record one billion lire and has since become a legend in Turin, turning out for them nearly 600 times and winning seven Scudetti. Meanwhile, he has made 152 appearances for Italy and lifted the World Cup in 2006.
Despite turning 38 in January, the ex-Parma man remains one of the world's premier players in his position, and Juve's decision to offer him a fresh deal confirms that.
"I'm immensely proud in the faith Juventus have placed in me once more," Buffon told the press. "I hope that my fantastic story with this club will go on and bring even further success."
"Even at this age, I still have room to improve and this is the best place for me to do so," he commented.
