Gianluigi Buffon has previously stated that he would like to play for West Ham United, and his contract is due to expire.
Buffon has announced he is leaving Juventus, with other offers now flooding in for the goalkeeper.
With West Ham needing a stopper, some of their more ambitious supporters are hoping that he is offered a contract with the Hammers.
Buffon would almost certainly have to take a wage cut to join West Ham, and he is likely to have interest from higher placed clubs.
However, Buffon has previously suggested that he wants to play for West Ham because of the fans.
He said to the Independent: ‘I wanted to play for West Ham because of their supporters, they follow the Hammers with an extraordinary energy.’’
If West Ham could get a deal over the line for Buffon it would be their most remarkable signing of the summer.
The Hammers re known to be looking for a new goalkeeper, with both Adrian and Joe Hart struggling at the London Stadium over the past campaign.
