i'v seen countless of athletes in different sports who happened to hang around just little bit too "long", but cannot tell them what to do really, as it's the only thing they have done since their childhoods. it's hard to let go and what im seeing here, gigi is coming home, to retire at home just like it was always meant to be. people should calm down, he's 2nd goalie who's gonna probably play couple of games this season and everytime he steps between the pipes, i'll cherish every moment of it.
the man proved himself a capable goalie at his age, last season he went to a new league, got Trapp loaned out and Areola benched, one mistake against Manchester doesn't turn him into a senile old fart that'd be a danger to us as 2nd goalie, he's no Chimenti lol. him signing for less money and wanting guarantees about not sitting the whole season on bench is a good thing

Gianluigi Buffon will reportedly sign a contract with Juventus that stipulates he must make at least 10 appearances.
Buffon has all-but-agreed a one-year deal with Juve worth €1.5m, prior to taking up a coaching or directorial role at the club.
However, La Repubblica claims it will include a clause that forces Coach Maurizio Sarri to play him in at least eight League games.
Indeed, the 41-year-old is exactly eight matches away from surpassing the Serie A record of 674 appearances, held by Paolo Maldini.
The clause would also entitle the goalkeeper to featuring in at least two Champions League fixtures.

Salary is fine, but the guarantees i don't like, especially not the CL ones. He's 41 and a liability at this point. Couldn't he just come back as staff member right away? Am i supposed to be celebrating his farewell again? How do i know it's the last time, and not like the never ending last Rolling Stones tour?
Looks like buffon is one of those people..... It seems to be an Italian thing. an old player many years past his prime wants to continue playing no matter what.
Totti and de rossi stayed till they wore out their welcome and left on bad terms.
as soon as del piero saw the writing on the wall, he left as well..
im not at all a fan of clingy seniors who don't know when the times up...
and the guarantee thing is outrageous. how would you feel if you were woj? he sat on the bench for a year to earn his spot, now he has to yield games to someone whos "entitled" to it because of his status with the club.
now 1 woj mistake, and were going to have all these nostalgia name loving "fans" demanding buffon become the #1 keeper, and creating a completely unnessacry distraction.

I think so too. For juve it is beneficial as we can sell perin and use the money to fund other players or balance the books. Our legendary keeper coming back, means that management still trusts him and I would not be surprised if they extend his stay next year too, on low wages of course.
