"Hello Bosnia. It was nice to meet you and share beautiful emotions! You were a great surprise,” the message read.

The former AS Roma midfielder ‘s story had a captaion which read, “Thank you #1, @gianluigibuffon.”

The Italian goalkeeper has not made a formal announcement or held a press conference in order to announce his decision to retire from professional football after the end of the 2017-18 season. However, it is believed the 40-year-old could be in his final season as a player.

All indications suggest that Buffon, the World Cup winner in 2006, is likely to hang his gloves later in the summer. Pjanic would have been lucky to have collected a memorabilia and the goalkeeper’s signature, much in advance.
