Juventus' Gianluigi Buffon Hints He'll Keep Playing Beyond This Season

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has suggested he'll continue playing beyond the end of the season.

The veteran stopper will turn 42 in January, and his contract with the Bianconeri expires in June.

After setting the record for most Serie A appearances by a Juventus player in their 2-1 win over Sampdoria on Wednesday with 479, Buffon told Sky Sport Italia (h/t Goal's Chris Burton):

"The reason I keep playing is that I can give myself, along with my team-mates and this club, many beautiful emotions that are worth living.
