A few days ago, Gianluigi Buffon surprised everyone and announced that leaving Juventus does not necessarily mean the end of his career. – I still need to fight – said the Italian goalkeeper then.
“If there is anyone crazier than me and makes me imagine a greater madness than I am, I will,” Buffon declared then.
All this led OS Belenenses, a fifth division club in Portugal, to write a letter to the 43-year-old goalkeeper. They offer Buffon to play, and in return they want to offer some unusual things.
“How about moving to Lisbon and helping us quickly get back to our place in Portuguese football, to the premier league?” – the team leaders begin.
“You have known us at least since 2004, when you trained with the Italian national team every day at Estádio do Restelo, our home and the most beautiful sports facility. We are sure that you have not forgotten this place – how else? – as well as the amazing view it offers. from our sports complex to the Tagus River, “they continue.
“We are humble, realistic and honorable. It is not the money we have to offer you, but the opportunity to tie your name to another challenge that only living legends like you can take on with a sense of opportunity. You already occupy your place in the history of football, but here you can. climb Mount Olympus “- we read further.
“You will be able to dine comfortably in the excellent restaurants of the Estádio do Restelo, but of course you will also be able to visit one of the 12 Michelin-starred restaurants in Lisbon.
In the contract, we will not fail to include 1 yearly MAAT ticket (do you already know this work of architectural art?) And 1 weekly family ticket for visiting the Carriage Museum, Monument of Discoveries, Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery, the last two places inscribed on the World Heritage List UNESCO.
The deal will also include a package of six Pasteis de Belém a week, one of the most popular Portuguese sweets that you will surely enjoy without changing your diet, “propose the owners of OS Belenenses.
“We will be delighted to meet you in person in Turin, but if you want to visit us in Belém now, we will be delighted to welcome you,” they write at the end.
Gianluigi Buffon has yet to respond to the proposal, but admittedly, by asking for insane offers, he could have caused quite a stir. It is possible that more clubs from the low leagues will be racing to convince the Italian legend to take an unexpected step.
