Gigi Buffon is back to Juve

Gianluigi Buffon has arrived in Turin to complete his remarkable return to Juventus.

Juve tweeted on Thursday morning that Buffon had checked into the club’s J Medical facility for tests.

Once he has passed his medical, the goalkeeper will sign a one-year playing contract, with a view to staying on in a coaching or directorial capacity.

The 41-year-old spent last season at Paris Saint-Germain but will instead end his career with the Old Lady, where he made 656 appearances between 2001 and 2018, winning nine Scudetti.
