Legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon could become the oldest goalkeeper in Italian football history if he stays in Parma but has been offered a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.
Italian football legend Gianluigi Buffon could be on his way to Saudi Arabia following a lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League.
Buffon is the captain of his boyhood club Parma, who are currently in Italy’s second division, Serie B.
The 45-year-old made 17 appearances last season for the club, keeping four clean sheets in an injury-laden campaign.

Saudi’s offer is said to be very mouthwatering and the former Italy international is considering his options.
Should he make the move to the Saudi pro League, the ex-Juve man could become the latest big-name to join the revolution in the Kingdom.
He would also become just the second Italian to appear in the Saudi top flight, following former Juventus teammate Sebastian Giovinco who made 57 appearances for Al-Hilal between 2019 and 2021.
