Veteran Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon says he has been offered a one-year contract extension with Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The now 41-year-old moved to the French giants last summer after ending his 17-year stay with Juventus and signed a 12-month deal at PSG with the option for a further year.

Buffon, who won 176 caps for Italy, told Sky Uno: “The club have offered me an extension, which makes me really happy and fulfils me.

“We will meet in a few days to review this project and see if it is good to continue together.”

This season Buffon has made 24 appearances for Thomas Tuchel’s side as he has shared the goalkeeping responsibilities with Frenchman Alphonse Areola.

He added: “It’s going well in Paris. I have exceptional life experience at 41-years-old.

“I arrived convinced I would be involved as a player and as a person, and I found what I came for.”

Buffon ended his long stay with Juve last summer and became a free agent having won nine Serie A titles with the club.

His 176 appearances for Italy make him the most-capped European player of all time and he helped the Azzurri win the 2006 World Cup.

He has won 26 major trophies across his 24-year career, as well as playing in three Champions League finals with Juve.
