Buffon and Barzagli to renew

Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Barzagli will become the latest members of Juventus’ title winning squad to be handed new deals.

Reports today suggest that boss Antonio Conte will extend until 2016 later this month, but he won’t be alone.

Goalkeeper Buffon and Barzagli will be rewarded with new agreements seeing as their present ones expire in June 2013.

Buffon, it is claimed, will put pen to paper on a contract until 2016. The 34-year-old joined the club in the summer of 2001.

Barzagli, meanwhile, will be offered new terms until 2014, with an option for an extra 12 months on top of that.

Alessandro Matri, Paolo De Ceglie, Fabio Quagliarella and Leonardo Bonucci have already had their deals renewed this season.

Nice, i hope Gigi will stay with us the next season 2 as i think it will be his last.

If he signs a contract till 2016, he'll stay there longer even. Mind you, goalkeepers are like wine - the older they get, the better they are.

Am I the only one thinking Buffon isn't what he used to be? At 38 I doubt he is better the the future italian goalkeeper starlets.......

Did you watch him this season? He saved us so many times it was unbelievable, to come back that great from injury is impressive, I wish that he does a Van Der Sar and stays till he's 40.
