Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon close to agreeing short-term contract extension
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is close to agreeing a short-term contract extension with the Italian champions.
Buffon
recently registered his 100th appearance in European competition as Juve qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League, but revealed he is not seeking a long contract.
The 34-year-old told
juventus.com: "We need to speak about its length.
"I want it to be a short-term deal because I don't need reassurance; on the contrary, I think it's better to have motivation. In any case we're down to the final details."
Juventus are currently four points clear of
Inter Milan at the top of Serie A after beating Palermo 1-0 on Sunday.

「無功不受祿，我有過輝煌的職業生涯，我不需要三年合約來換取安全感，我想要短一些的合約，我不希望賺取那些我不配拿到的工資。如果我能保持足夠的動力並設立合適的目標，我慶幸還能踢上兩到三年高水平的足球。但我此刻只想續約一年，這不關乎甚麼，就是關乎我的自尊。」 Buffon is in negotiations to renew his contract with Juve, but revealed there are some unexpected problems.“We are getting close to finalising the
deal, but we have to discuss the length, as I would like a short contract.
I don’t want to take anyone’s money without deserving it. I have had an important career and I think I can continue for another two or three years if I maintain certain motivation and targets. It’s about self-esteem too.”
