His father is a living legend of Italy and world football, but the son of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon seems likely to never wear the Azzurri jersey.
We will continue to see the Buffon surname on the green field in the coming years, but at the national level, Louis Thomas Buffon will represent the Czech Republic, where his mother comes from.
Although only 17 years old, still young on his journey to professional football, Louis has been invited by the Czech National Team to represent their colors.
Louis Buffon has Czech citizenship because his mother is Czech. So Gigi's ex-wife, Alena Seredova, is Czech.
The legendary goalkeeper is currently married to Ilaria D'Amico, an Italian television presenter, but he and Alena have two sons from their marriage.
Louis plays for Pizza at the club level and has been regularly active with the youth team, in a competition where players two years older than him compete.
This season, Louis Buffon has made 18 appearances for Pizza Primavera, scoring four goals.
Czech media report that Louis has accepted their national team's invitation and will appear in the squad for the March tournament in Portugal, where the Czechs will face England, France and the host team. (A2 Televizion)
