It seems to Gianluigi Buffon Fate played a trick on him, as in 2019 he decided to leave Paris Saint-Germain to sign up for Turin Juventusnot knowing that his situation would have improved if he had remained in France.
In an interview with his Italian colleagues Christian Vieri and Antonio Cassano during a Twitch broadcast, the former Azzurri player admitted that he is very happy living in the French capital, but He moved because he thought he wouldn’t get a chance to play with Alphonse Areola as the team’s starting goalkeeper.
However, what I didn’t know was that Soon after, Areola would get injured. after he left for Turin, PSG had to rush to find a goalkeeper, a circumstance that, had he stayed, could have made him a starter.
As if that wasn’t enough, the goalkeeper was able to secure a million dollar contract as he implied that the club offered him $10.8 million, but he refused to return with La Vecchia Signora.
“Leaving was the biggest mistake of my life, I turned down 10 million euros. I was told that (Alphonse) Areola would play in the Champions League, but I did not agree.. In sports, the one who deserves it plays for me. Why should it be second in France? As far as possible in Italy, and that is why I returned to Juventus. Then he regretted it, because Areola was injured and they signed Keylor (Navas) instead.”, – said the legendary goalkeeper.
“(In Paris) I felt like a free person. Learned French quickly, talked to people on the street, visited museums. I was happy,” he concluded.
At the moment, Buffon plays for Parma in Serie Bhaving played two seasons for the Bianconeri team.
