Buffon's move back to Juventus was 'totally unexpected', says agent

The Italian spent one season with PSG before opting to return to the Serie A champions in what his agent describes as a unforeseen conclusion

Gianluigi Buffon’s agent has admitted that his sensational Juventus return was “totally unexpected”.

The 41-year-old departed the Old Lady in the summer of 2018 after spending 17 years with the club, originally joining from Parma for a then-world-record fee of €52 million (£47m/$58m).

He spent last season with eventual Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain and made 25 appearances for the club across all competitions, keeping nine clean sheets.
