Goalkeeper Juventus Gianluigi Buffon can play on a professional level longer than expected.

Initially, the legendary goalkeeper planned to retire after the 2018 World Cup, but since the Italian team could not make it to the world championship, it was expected that Gianluigi would hang his boots at the end of this season.

However, as reported by the 40-year-old goalkeeper, he can extend the career of a professional player.

"Having a motivation is the most important thing for me," said Buffon.

"While there is a desire to suffer and struggle, I will continue. After the passion that motivated me in the first years of my career passed, I promised myself that I will always strive for ever larger and larger goals ".

"Together with the club, we'll see if I have the strength and whether I can continue to play football," Gianluigi concluded..

Earlier, the newspaper Corriere della Sera reported, this season will be the last in his career Buffon.
