legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon confirms his retirement from football.

He wrote on social media:

”That’s all folks! You gave me everything. I gave you everything. We did it together.’

The 45-year-old previously stated that he intends to keep playing until the 2026 World Cup and had full intentions of seeing out his contract at Parma, which expires in June 2024.
