Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon has already attracted interest from six European clubs ahead of leaving the Italian side at the end of the season.

The 43-year-old Italian shot-stopper is in his second stint with Juventus after leaving Paris Saint-Germain in 2019.

However, Buffon has revealed that he won't renew his current Juventus deal and will leave the Old Lady for a second time in the summer.

According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, Barcelona are among several European clubs ready to battle it out to secure the services of Buffon.

Buffon's move to the Camp Nou would provide Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman with an experienced back-up option to Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Tuttosport also reports that the former Italy international is on the radar of newly-crowned Portuguese champions Sporting CP.
