Buffon Completes Sensational Return to Juventus

By Daily Sports on July 5, 2019

Gianluigi Buffon is a Juventus player once more, with the legendary goalkeeper having completed a return to Turin on a one-year contract.

He is back with the Bianconeri after a solitary season in France with Ligue 1 title holders Paris Saint-Germain.

An emotional farewell had been bid to Juve and an adoring fan base at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Buffon, with no fresh terms agreed at the Allianz Stadium, walked away from the Serie A champions after 17 memorable years.

Just 12 months later, he is back.

An iconic figure is now 41 years of age, but there is no desire on his part to hang up his gloves just yet.

Juve are happy to buy into his vast experience and strong ties to the club once more.

Sources close to the deal suggest that Buffon has committed to a contract worth a basic €1.5 million plus bonuses.

He has been returned to familiar surroundings to fill back-up duties behind Wojciech Szczesny.

That represents a role reversal for a man who departed a year ago as the undisputed No. 1.

Buffon is, however, approaching the end of a glittering playing career and accepts that he must now adopt a supporting post.

He has no qualms with that, having talked up the qualities of Szczesny as his successor when departing Turin. (Goal)
