The agent of Gigi Buffon says he wasn't short of offers ahead of his return to Juventus.

After a year with PSG, Buffon re-signed for Juve earlier this summer.

Silvano Martina told Tutto Juve: "His return to Juventus? We were negotiating with Porto, there was also an interest from Brazil and meanwhile, the call of Juventus arrived.

"In deciding what to do, we also assessed the family context and the fact that it would be difficult to move again. The decision was made precisely for that.

"Barça? Yes, but going to Barcelona would not have made him leap forward. Juventus is like Barça, it is his favourite team and it is the environment in which he has lived some unforgettable emotions. Today, an athlete like Gigi, who turns 42 in January, aims to do well."
