“We know there is interest and someone close to Porto has contacted us,” Buffon's agent Silvano Martina told Portuguese station RTP regarding the future of his client.

“Buffon wants to play for another year and Porto are a club he likes, but he has four children and transferring his whole family is something that he needs to reflect on.

“It’s true, he already played with Sergio Conceicao and it’d be nice to have him as a Coach. Porto are a big club, among the most important in Europe and with a strong history behind them.
“Buffon will make a decision in around 10 days.”

The World Cup winner could be planned into the Liga NoS club as a replacement for Iker Casillas after the Spanish keeper underwent a recent heart attack with early signs suggesting he may have to hang up the gloves on medical grounds.

At 41-years of age, this could be the last big move in Europe but it still remains to be seen if he adjusts being the number one in the side, as the Portuguese giants are also reportedly in the hunt for Real Madrid keeper Keylor Navas.

Buffon made 25 appearances in his first and only season in France last term, winning the French League.
