The agent of Gianluigi Buffon reveals that the 41-year-old turned down offers from Premier League clubs in order to return to his former club Juventus.

The agent of Gianluigi Buffon has revealed that his client turned down offers to play in the Premier League in order to return to Juventus.

The 41-year-old goalkeeper left Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season after a one-year stay in the French capital, and returns to his former club with whom he made 656 appearances over a 17-year period.

Buffon's agent Silvano Martina claims that there was interest from England, but the shot-stopper preferred a move back to Italy.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Martina commented that: "He had many offers, especially from the Premier League and from other large teams."

The report suggests that Juventus have guaranteed the former Italian international a minimum of 10 games in the forthcoming season, which would see him overtake Paolo Maldini as the leading appearance-maker of all time in Serie A.
