Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin admits he's open to returning to Juventus.

Perin is on loan from Juventus and could remain at the club next season if Gianluigi Buffon leaves.

“He was my role model, training with him at Juventus and with the national team was a dream come true," Perin said.

“I am 28 and I've played ten seasons in Serie A. I came back to life several times, this would be one more. I always try to raise the bar, I am ambitious. I don't what the future has in store for me, but I take what life gives me, knowing that I will receive what I deserve.

“I've made many mistakes in life, as a man and as a footballer, but some mistakes make you grow. My family and my kids have helped me."
