Buffon demands special clause before penning Juventus deal

Gigi Buffon is ready to re-sign with Juventus - though is insisting on some special clauses included in the deal.

La Reppublica says the 41 year-old is prepared to return to Juve as cover for Wojciech Szczesny, but with a catch.

Buffon wants assurances he will play at least eight first team games next season.

Were he to play those eight matches, Buffon would beat Paolo Maldini's appearances record with AC Milan.

After his release from PSG, Buffon is willing to move to Juve on terms of €2m for the season.
