5 of the oldest players plying their trade in Europe's top 4 leagues

#4 Stefano Sorrentino – 38 years and 3 months

So old that his beard is white now

At the far end of the pitch, the player furthest to the goalkeeper, is Serie A’s 5^th oldest player. And on this end, the goalkeeper itself, is just a month older than the striker and takes the fourth spot on this list.

Stefano Sorrentino is a goalkeeper for Chievo after returning to the club last year. Prior to this spell – his second at the club – he played for the club from 2009 to 2013 before joining Palermo for three years and then subsequently returning to Chievo.

The goalkeeper was a part of Juventus’ academy, playing there for only a year before signing for rivals, Torino. As he is a goalkeeper, it isn’t surprising to see him on the list. At all. He now has a contract that runs till 2018, making him the 4^th oldest active player in Europe’s top 4 leagues.
