Buffon told Goal.com: “I have no idea, it's not like I have a deadline or a definitive date. As long as I perform like this, feel good and have enthusiasm, I will keep playing.

“The moment any of those elements is lacking, I will leave it behind without problems."

Asked about the World Cup, Buffon continued: “Absolutely not. I won't even put myself forward, because I haven't been part of the Nazionale for four years. Roberto Mancini made a perfectly correct evaluation and that should be respected.

“He's done great things for the Azzurri, so he and his work should be respected."
