Gianluigi Buffon admits losing out on £8.8m after argument in "biggest mistake of my life"

Gianluigi Buffon admits he turned his back on £8.8m following a dispute at PSG which he now admits was the "biggest mistake of his life."

The Italian legend opted to leave Juventus after almost two decades in 2018 and pen a contract with PSG. Despite turning 40 that year, Buffon's stock was still high and the French giants were keen to have him in Paris, where he shared goalkeeping duties.

He and Alphonse Areola were used by Thomas Tuchel, but tempers flared when Buffon took issue with a selection decision. He was informed that his team-mate would be utilised in Europe and opted to leave PSG as a result, leaving behind huge financial rewards, only to see Areola get injured.
