The Chelsea goalkeeper is already taking measures to have a long career like the legendary Italy international
Thibaut Courtois is determined to remain at the top of his game until his late 30s, holding up Gianluigi Buffon and former Chelsea team-mate Mark Schwarzer as role models.
Schwarzer is the Blues' oldest ever player, having lined up for them at 41-years-old in 2015, and he trained alongside the Belgium No.1 after they both joined the west London club.
Buffon, meanwhile, has announced he is leaving Juventus this summer, though he may continue to play elsewhere after receiving a number of offers.
