Gianluigi Buffon: Paris St-Germain complete signing of Juventus legend
Buffon joined Juventus in 2001 and played 656 times for the Serie A club
Paris St-Germain have signed former Juventus and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon on a free transfer.
Buffon, 40, left Juventus at the end of last season, ending a 17-year stay at a club where he played 656 times.
The nine-time Serie A winner was rumoured to be offered an off-field role at Juve but chose to sign an initial one-year deal with the French champions.
"I know what dreams PSG and its fans have in their hearts," he said.
"I am going to bring all my energy, all my experience and all of my thirst to win to help my new club achieve all the great objectives it has set out for the future.
"For the first time in my career, I am leaving my country and only a project this ambitious could have encouraged me to make such a decision."
