May 11 2021

The end of the season will see the departure of Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. The 43-year-old confirmed his departure saying; ‘We have reached the end of a cycle.’ The player returned to Turin in July 2019 following a year with Paris Saint-Germain. His contract expires in June and this is his sign to retire from the team.

Buffon feels his future is ‘clear and defined.’ Calling his experience with Juventus beautiful, the journey is set to end this year. He stated that he gave everything for Juve and received everything back, with not much more to be done. The goalkeeper kept three clean sheets in seven Serie A games throughout the most recent term and helped the team to get to Coppa Italia Final, which seems to be his last match with the club on 19th of May.
