Buffon has been a free agent since leaving Juventus at the end of last season following an illustrious carrer at the Serie A club, with constant speculation linking him to PSG.
However, a move looks like a foregone conclusion now after a meeting between new manager Thomas Tuchel and his current crop of goalkeepers.
In said meeting, Tuchel reportedly gave Alphonse Areola confirmation that he would be the Number 1 next year even if Buffon does join.
This has seemingly paved the way for a deal to be finalised between the player and the club, in what would be a huge coup for the Ligue 1 champions.
PSG have made no secret of their desire to conquer Europe and landing Buffon will no doubt be a step in the right direction.
