It smells like ‘end of cycle’ at Juventus. The departure of Andrea Pirlo is almost certain at the end of the season. There is also speculation about the possible goodbye of Cristiano Ronaldo, Pavel Nedved (vice president) and Fabio Paratici (sports director). Some even suggest that President Andrea Agnelli could step aside.
This is how Buffon celebrates his 25 years of debut: relive what he did in 1995!
One thing is for sure. Gianluigi Buffon does not continue in the ‘Old Lady’. The 43-year-old goalkeeper announced his second goodbye to Turn – in 2018 he left to go to PSG – on the ‘Bein Sports’ microphones: “My future is clear and determined. This season will put an end, definitively, to this beautiful and long experience at Juventus.”

And so much. Since arriving from Parma in 2001 for 53 million euros – for years he was the most expensive goalkeeper in history -, ‘Gigi’ hHe has played 683 games with Juve in which he has received 537 goals and has left the goalkeeper to zero in 322. He has won, only with Juve, 10 Leagues, four Cups and six Super Cups. He was faithful to the ‘Vecchia Signora’ after the relegation to Serie B by ‘Calciopoli’ and reached three Champions League finals … but lost all three. That is the great unfinished business of his career.
“I think I have given everything for Juve. I have also received everything and more of that cannot be done. We have reached the end of a cycle and it’s fair, “he continues.

It does not mean that he is going to retire
Buffon, yes, it does not make clear that ‘hang up the gloves’: “I can stop playing or continue. If I find a situation that stimulates me or a different life experience, I will take it into consideration. ”
Withdraw? If I find a situation that stimulates me or a different life experience, I will take it into consideration
The goal, in ‘Bein’, has shown his face for Juve of his ex-teammate Andrea Pirlo: “We lacked continuity. In matches against the best 5-6 teams in Serie A, we often win, but we lost some stupid points. This team must mature and grow from the point of view of character. “

He has also defended Cristiano Ronaldo: “I have a great relationship with him. I like him very much. He has made a ‘sack’ of goals, like every year. The problem is that you stand out when the team achieves important things and, if not, you also suffer. “
