Gianluigi Buffon is in advanced talks with Juventus about an incredible return to the club, according to reports.
The 41-year-old, who made 24 appearances in all competitions last season, has been a free agent since leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the start of June.
But it now looks like the Italian champions will snap up Buffon's services ahead of the new 2019/20 campaign.
Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claims that talks between both parties have been productive.
