The Italian shot-stopper will have a number of records up for grabs as he returns for a 19th season as a bianconeri.

After just over a month, Gianluigi Buffon has figured out his future. The Italian shot-stopper had been linked with all sorts of teams to continue his lengthy playing career, but finally, the footballer will return to the place he calls home: Juventus.

Buffon left PSG after failing to sign a contract extension with Les Parisiens, and the opportunity to play for Juve surfaced after just a couple of weeks. With his deal at PSG officially over, Buffon moved on to sign a one-year deal with the bianconeri. Juventus did not have to spend one euro on his transfer due to his free agent status.

Here's how Juve welcomed back the famous goalkeeper.

Then, the footballer took it to his own social media feed to share a few words with Juve fans.

With the No.1 jersey handed to Wojciech Szczesny since last season, Buffon chose to wear Number 77 this season, as revealed later by the player himself at Juve's store in Milan.

Gianluigi Buffon could be on his way to set some interesting records at Juventus. He could become the only player in Serie A history to win ten league titles (he has won nine so far), and he needs just eight more games to surpass Paolo Maldini as the most capped player in Serie A history. Furthermore, Buffon will try to win his ninth consecutive league (considering his stint at PSG).

So, after an emotional farewell, Buffon is back for one last hurrah with the bianconeri. Will he achieve the aforementioned records and end up winning the UEFA Champions League title that has escaped from his hands several times?
