Gianluigi Buffon set to rejoin Juventus from Paris Saint-Germain

Gianluigi Buffon is poised to rejoin Juventus on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, according to Sky in Italy.

The 41-year-old World Cup winner, who spent 17 years with Juve prior to moving to Paris last summer, has agreed a return to Turin, where he will be understudy to former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.

Buffon's deal will be for one season, but he will be expected to take on another role at the club when he retires.
