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

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"
