The 38-year-old is one of Italy's most important players and the former Bianconeri star hopes he'll stay until he turns 50.
Pavel Nedved said in an interview with 'iDNES.cz' he'd like Gianluigi Buffon to play until he will be 50.
Buffon joined Juventus in 2001 from Parma, has become a real legend at the club and made 465 appearances for them.
He's reached a lot with his team: they've won the Coppa Italia two times and the Serie A seven times. Furthermore he won the World Cup with his national team.
Nedved, who played for eight years with the Italian, said: "When I see the passion with which Gigi is training I would like him to play with Juve until [he is] 50 years [old],.
"When he came back from European Championship, he told me that he wants to go on at least until Russia 2018," he said.
He added: "He has always been the first in training, honest, perfect".
