JUVENTUS legend Gianluigi Buffon is closing in on a two-year deal with Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.
The Italian No1, 40, appears set to finally leave Juve after 17 years to link up with the reigning French champions, despite his advancing years.
Gianluigi Buffon is reportedly close to signing a two-year deal at PSG
Buffon is said to be close to putting pen to paper on the contract, according to reports in his native Italy.
The 176-cap Italy international has been looking for a new club ever since playing his last game for Serie A champions Juventus earlier this month.
And after 656 appearances of the Turin giants, Buffon is preparing for the almost unthinkable – leaving the Old Lady.
Buffon helped Juve to nine Serie A titles but missed out on his dream Champions League trophy.
