Buffon sends important message after
joining Juventus in a mega deal this
summer
- The 40-year-old joined the Parisians after
failing to win the Champions League with
the Old Lady
His departure from the club saw them
land the former Manchester United star
in an £88 million deal from Real
Madrid.
However, despite leaving the Old Lady,
Buffon still clearly feels affection for his
former team as he wished them - and
Ronaldo - well.
Ronaldo inspired Real to 4-1 triumph
over Juve in the final of the 2017 UEFA
Champions League at the Principality
Stadium in Cardiff.
After winning the 2018 edition, the 33-
year-old became the first player with
the most UCL titles (5) after leading Los
Blancos to three successive UEFA elite
club championship title.
- He has however charged the Portugal
international to bring European glory to
the club
Paris Saint Germain summer signing
Gianluigi Buffon is delighted with
Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Juventus
this summer.
The 40-year-old is hoping the Portugal
international will bring Champions
League glory to the Turin based outfit.
Buffon, who won the 2006 FIFA World
Cup title ended his 17-year reign at Juve
before joining PSG at the end of last
season.
Meanwhile, Buffon believes Juve can go
ahead and win the title they have
missed in their last three attempts if
their new star plays as well as he did at
the Bernabeu.
"I hope Ronaldo can give what he's given
for all the teams he played in ,' the
veteran goalkeeper told Sky Sport Italia.
"Certainly he won't give Juventus the
sorrows he's given us in recent years.
Juventus can't spring any surprises: they
have a skilled board and president, plus
their history, team and fans are so great
that if it they don't win, they go close ."
NAIJ.com previously reported that
Gianluigi Buffon joined Ligue 1
champions, Paris Saint-Germain over
the weekend.
The 40-year-old left Juventus at the end
of last season after 17 long years and is
poised to sign a two-year deal with the
moneybags.
As a result, either Kevin Trapp or
Alphonse Areola are expected to depart
the club, with the veteran goalkeeper set
to become first choice between the
sticks.
