Juventus call the legend back
It's almost done for the big return and it would be the news of summer. The 41 years old goalkeeper could become the 2nd "bianconeri" 's goalkeeper.
Interviewed by Sport Mediaset, Buffon's agent Silvano Martina pointed out that Juventus is really thinking of its former captain as second goalkeeper for the next season.
“This club is everything for me. But I do not want to be a burden for Juventus. I do not want to be a problem for my own people. If my team time is over, I have to go. Juventus, or nothing” said Gianluigi Buffon in January 2018.
Six months later Gigi left Juventus, where he played 17 years during which he win a lot of titles, only the Champions League has not been won by the goalkeeper. In July 2018, Buffon said his goodbye at the Allianz Stadium: everyone was crying - from Buffon himself to his teammates and fans. “I decided that I also want to play football. Such an ambitious project as PSG attracted me. I hope I can win trophies with the club. Give your teammates your thirst for victory. Together we will achieve a lot” said Buffon explaining the choice of PSG. With PSG Buffon won the French championship, but they was looking for the Champions League title so we can say that Paris failed its major goal.
Today, according to the Italian media, Gigi agreed to still be the backup goalkeeper in his loved Juventus. The main goalkeeper is Wojciech Szczęsny, and it seems that his replacement Mattia Perin would like to leave the club.
Another legend of italian soccer commented the news: Dino Zoff commented on Buffon's possible return to the "Vecchia Signora" on Radio Sportiva channel,: "Buffon's return? If he want to keep playing or sit on the bench, he is welcome. I don't see any problem....The idea of a future in the leadership of the club may have influenced her desire to return to Juve".
