Gigi Buffon in confirmed talks with Boca Juniors
Boca Juniors boss Guillermo Barros Schelotto confirmed that the club have entered into discussions with Gianluigi Buffon regarding a potential summer transfer.
The 40-year old's contract at Juventus is due to expire in June, and Buffon is undecided whether he will continue to play professionally or retire from the sport.
However, the goalkeeper has been linked to the Buenos Aires team in recent weeks, and has reportedly made contact with club hierarchy to defer discussions by a month..
Boca head coach Schletto told 'Radio Continental': ''[President Daniel] Angelici told me that they called Buffon to ask if he was interested, but we agreed to speak only after the 17th of May.''
After Juventus were eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid in the semi-finals, Buffon may feel as though the perceived injustice has extinguished his desire to continue playing.
It could likely boil down to how convincing current Boca striker and former Juve team-mate, Carlos Tevez can be, given that he has been handed the task of convincing Buffon to head to South America in the summer.
