Gianluigi Buffon returns to Juventus

DBasia.news –  Juventus has confirmed the return of the legend, Gianluigi Buffon, to Turin after previously performing one season in France. Buffon has undergone a medical test.

Gianluigi Buffon left Juventus in July 2018 after 11 years of service. At the time, Buffon said he wanted to experience a new challenge.

Then, Buffon chose Paris Saint-Germain as his new port. The former Parma goalkeeper appeared in 25 matches and led PSG to win Ligue 1 and the French League Cup.

However, Buffon’s journey with PSG only lasted one season. The 41-year-old goalkeeper decided to leave Paris as he felt the adventure with Les Parisiens was enough

After being linked with Atalanta and FC Porto, Buffon apparently chose to return to Juventus. Reportedly, Buffon will get a season-long contract with a salary of 1.5 million euros.

Uniquely, in the contract there is a clause that he must appear at least eight times in Serie A. The amount is chosen for a reason. If Buffon makes eight appearances, he will surpass AC Milan’s 674 legend Paolo Maldini.

In addition, Buffon will also be the goalkeeping coach when his contract expires. Now, the ex Parma has continued to get the opportunity to win a title that has long been dreamed of, the Champions League.

Juventus are active in the 2019 summer transfer market. Besides Buffon, La Vechia Signora has brought in Adrien Rabiot, Luca Pellegrini and Aaron Ramsey, whose transfers have been completed since last season.
