Gianluigi Buffon’s agent hints he’ll announce his retirement and declares “sorry to Gigio Donnarumma, but there will never be another Gigi”.
The Juventus captain will speak at a Press conference on Thursday morning, where it’s almost certain he’ll announce he’s hanging up his gloves.
“I can’t anticipate anything,” Silvano Martina told JuveNews.
“He’ll tell the Press what he’ll do when he grows up the day after tomorrow.

“He’ll tell the Press what he’ll do when he grows up the day after tomorrow.
“His eventual farewell? It won’t be like [Francesco] Totti’s goodbye. Those celebrations belong to the fiery Roman style. Under the Mole I expect a salute similar to [Alessandro] Del Piero’s.
“Maybe 15 minutes before something will happen, maybe like the ‘Ciao Platini’ banner. It’ll be a tearful day, but a sober one.
“I’ve had the pleasure of accompanying the greatest goalkeeper in football history on his path. Sorry to Donnarumma, but there will never be another Gigi.”
Buffon was benched for Sunday’s Roma game, watching on as his teammates clinched the Scudetto.
“Everything was agreed with [Coach Max] Allegri because the Tricolore was already practically won. “It’s another historic achievement, but this season isn’t just about Buffon. Juventus is an important reality where everyone is a protagonist.”
