Two years after his surprising return with Juventus, Gianluigi Buffon says goodbye to the Juventus team. The goalkeeper made his decision official in an interview with Bein Sport: "This year my experience in black and white will come to an end. Either I stop or I find a stimulating situation. My future is clear and outlined. This year this beautiful and very long experience with Juve will come to a definitive end".
Buffon's decision
Buffon greets Juventus for the second time, after the farewell of summer 2018 when he chose to move to Paris Saint Germain. After a season, however, the same extreme defender returned to Juventus again, thanks to his bond with the club and with the hope of winning the coveted Champions League, the only trophy missing. to his extraordinary career. The disappointing year of the Bianconeri and the need to close a cycle pushed Buffon to leave Juventus for good without, however, ending his career definitively.
The hypotheses for the future: MLS, Parma or Genoa
Immediately after the announcement to the press, numerous were born hypothesis on the future of Gianluigi Buffon. After the brief experience in France, many are thinking of a possible return abroad, perhaps in the United States, where the MLS is continuing to grow and is always looking for emblematic players for its championship. The second suggestive hypothesis foresees the possibility of an experience in Qatar, for the last years of his career in a decidedly second-rate football.
However, there is no shortage of admirers in Italy. The hypothesis is fascinating Parma, relegated to Serie B this season and the club that allowed Buffon to make his debut in Serie A and start his legendary career. A sensational return after 20 years from the first goodbye that would close a circle. Another place that could focus on Buffon is Genoa, a hypothesis already ridden in 2018 when he decided to leave Juventus. About that agent Silvano Martina clarified the position of his client: "Let's finish the championship and let's not talk about the transfer market: the news that has come out about foreign clubs interested in Buffon are not true. At the moment I haven't heard from anyone from Genoa for Gigi. Being a goalkeeper at the Grifone requires first and foremost a strong defense. Buffon will end his career as a footballer if stimulating proposals do not arrive"
The suggestions Rome, Atalanta and Lazio
In the last few hours the hypotheses have also sprung up Rome, Atalanta and Lazio, interested in the world champion goalkeeper in 2016. The Giallorossi are looking for a goalkeeper and the idea of relying on an element of experience could push Mourinho to ask Buffon. And it is precisely the experience that the characteristics could lead Atalanta and Lazio to make an attractive proposal for the goalkeeper. Hypotheses and rumors for now, the feeling is that only at the end of the championship will we really know what Buffon's future will be.
