“I will never forget the pride that everyone at Paris Saint-Germain, both the club and the fans, felt when they saw Gianluigi Buffon wearing our jersey.” – said PSG’s chairman and CEO Al-Khelaifi in a statement.
“‘Gigi’ will forever remain among the football giants who have worn the Paris Saint-Germain colors and shared the values of the club. We will be honored to welcome him again next year, along with other former players, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our club.”
Gianluigi Buffon joined PSG last summer after playing his entire soccer career in Serie A. His lone season in Paris was filled with ups and downs, as he managed to won the Ligue 1 title with the team, but failed to advance past round of 16 in UEFA Champions League.
“Twelve months ago, I arrived at Paris Saint-Germain filled with enthusiasm, welcomed by the incredible warmth of the fans. It was really moving.” – said Buffon in a statement. “Thank you, once again, from the bottom of my heart. I leave happy to have enjoyed this experience which has undoubtedly helped me to grow.”
Despite being 41 years old, Buffon isn’t thinking about retirement. Instead, as he hinted in a recent Instagram post, he is heading back to Seria A. Reportedly, he could join Parma, where he started his professional career.
Ernest Hemingway ha scritto che “ci sono solo due posti al mondo dove possiamo vivere felicemente: a casa e a Parigi”. Da oggi per me queste due cose un po’ coincideranno. Parigi, a suo modo, sarà per sempre anche un po’ casa. Grazie per ciò che ho avuto la possibilità di vivere. Grazie per l’accoglienza, le emozioni e le fatiche vissute assieme. Uno vicino all’altro. Compagni di lavoro, di squadra e di viaggio. 12 mesi fa sono arrivato pieno di entusiasmo, accolto dall’incredibile calore dei tifosi. Mi avete commosso. Grazie ancora con tutto il cuore. Riparto più ricco e soddisfatto di un’esperienza che mi ha certamente migliorato e fatto crescere ulteriormente. Oggi si conclude questa mia avventura fuori dall’Italia: il @psg mi ha proposto un rinnovo di contratto che non mi sono sentito di accettare spinto dal desiderio di prepararmi a nuove esperienze umane e nuove sfide professionali. Ringrazio il Presidente Nasser, i dirigenti e tutti i miei compagni di squadra che mi hanno regalato tanti giorni di spensierata giovinezza. Vi auguro il meglio convinto che continuerete a scrivere insieme le pagine di questa importante storia. Allez Paris! Merci e bonne chance pour tout! 
Ernest Hemingway Ă©crit qu’il n’y a que deux endroits au monde oĂą l’on puisse vivre heureux : chez soi et Ă Paris. Depuis aujourd’hui, ça vaudra pour moi aussi. Paris, en quelque manière, sera toujours un peu chez moi. Merci pour tout ce que j’ai eu la possibilitĂ© de vivre. Merci pour l’accueil, les Ă©motions et les fatigues Ă©prouvĂ©es ensemble. L’un Ă cĂ´tĂ© de l’autre. Compagnons de travail, d’équipe et de voyage. Il y a 12 mois j’arrivais plein d’enthousiasme, accueilli par l’incroyable chaleur des supporters. C’était vraiment Ă©mouvant. Merci, encore une fois, de tout mon cĹ“ur. Je repars enrichi et satisfait par une expĂ©rience qui sans doute m’a amĂ©liorĂ© et m’a fait croĂ®tre. Aujourd’hui se termine mon aventure hors de l’Italie : le Paris Saint-Germain m’a proposĂ© de renouveler mon contrat mais je ne me suis pas senti d’accepter, poussĂ© par le dĂ©sir d’affronter des nouvelles expĂ©riences…The post Gianluigi Buffon Leaves PSG After One Year appeared first on SportzBonanza.
