Legendary Gianluigi Buffon's agent Silvano Martina revealed how this summer his client's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain happened.
Just a few months ago, it was predicted that the veteran would hang up his gloves, but later changed his mind and signed a contract with the Ligue 1 champions.
"PSG is a great club for Buffon.
How did everything go? We talked in a café and he asked to retire from football, adding that he could defend the colors of a top-level team for a few more years.
I knew a friend at PSG, I sent him a message and received an invitation to come.
For PSG, Buffon's transfer was as important as Neymar's. Gianluigi felt the French team's desire to have him in their squad and that gave the player a lot of motivation. Now he looks ten years younger.
PSG wanted the player since 2009 and now offered a two-year contract, but the player wanted a contract half as short, which shows their integrity," the agent said.
