Gianluigi Buffon looked to have played his last game in the Champions League when Juventus crashed out to Real last season.
But the 40 year old keeper, who left the Italian club after 17 years as their number one now looks set to have another crack at Europe’s top prize with his new side.
Reports in Italy have emerged revealing that the former Italian keeper, who retired from international duty upon his side’s failure to make the World Cup in Russia, is ready to undergo a medical with a new club.

Buffon has reportedly flown to France where he will undergo a medical at the American Hospital in Paris and is expected to be unveiled by PSG on Monday.
The veteran keeper is to sign a two year deal with the Ligue 1 club and fans can expect to see him lining up for the famous Champions League anthem once again.
The Italian legend was given a fine send off at the end of his time with The Old Lady, although he did get a red card in his final Champions League appearance.
