Buffon admits that he rejected Barça: "I didn't want to be a substitute"

Eric García, the Kun Agüero, Memphis Depay and Emerson Royal already are new players of the FC Barcelona and little by little the sportive planning of the new Managerial Board goes taking form. Now, it touches to accelerate the 'operation gone out', where already is decided many of which footballers will not continue in the team the season that comes. One of them is Net Walled, that up to now has been the second goalkeeper culé.

In January, the archer insisted in going out and looked for that the Barça gave him free road. However, the blaugrana did not want to remain without acting for Marc-André Ter Stegen​ to half of campaign and denied him the exit. However, now all has changed and the barcelonistas yes would allow him leave as long as it arrive with an interesting offer, something that still does not have sucedido, but that expects that it occur before or afterwards.

Nevertheless, in the club carry time wanting to cover the backs and therefore they posed go to by Gianluigi Buffon, that finish to sign with the Parma like free player. The already legendary goalkeeper was acting all the past campaign in the Juve and therefore it decided not renewing his agreement. To his 43 years, the archer wanted to play each week to be able to be in the World-wide of Qatar in 2022, that is his big dream to put a brooch of gold to his excelsa career.

Thus, taking advantage of that it remained free, the Barça spoke with him for sondear the possibility to do with him like acting of luxury for Ter Stegen. Unfortunately for the Catalans, as it has recognised the own put in his presentation with the Parma, his only aim was to sign by a team that ensured him the titularity. "If I refused an offer of the Barcelona? Had two important opportunities, but did not want to go back to be acting, was tired to be the second. I did it in the Juventus by the bond that there was here", admitted.

Buffon Decanted by the emotional factor of the Parma

On the other hand, the already ex bianconero left clear that feels thrilled with the opportunity to return to the that went his team of youngster and therefore it did not doubt it. "I felt a lot of emotion, at the end the emotional implication was the only form to follow playing to high levels. It knew what the Parma could give me , something that any another team could give me. I am happy with the affection of the people, see some places does me feel as home. It is a place that love so much...", it declared.

Although the Parma will play in the Series B the course that comes, Buffon admitted that it does not see this signing like a step backwards and that is very ilusionado with the project. "It was happy that Parma had finished in hands of Krause , has an important project. This of here put me of good humour and began to think in a possible return. Had other interesting offers, however, at the end the emotional implication did the rest", finalised.
