‘Buffon knew CR7 would join Juve’

By Football Italia staff

Gianluigi Buffon’s agent says the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper ‘was sure’ Cristiano Ronaldo would join Juventus.

Buffon left Juve before he had a chance of playing alongside Ronaldo, but Silvano Martina revealed that did not stop the 40-year-old from backing his former club to sign the superstar.

“He didn’t see it coming in April, but as soon as the news came out he was sure Juve would sign him,” he continued to RMC Sport.

“He loved the shirt he represented, he lives life with emotions and I hope he doesn’t face he Bianconeri: it would be painful for him.

“Could he go back to Juventus? I don’t know, but I don’t think PSG would ever let go of him.

“Still, that’s only my personal opinion. It’s never been talked about.”
