Currently <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/its-not-messi-gianluigi-buffon-says-argentine-star-in-serie-a-would-be-like-maradona-20220620-0017.html" target="_blank">Buffon</a> is back with his first love, Parma, the team he began his legendary career with.</p> 
<p>It was at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Juventus-Adrien-Rabiot-has-interest-from-three-Premier-League-sides-20230307-0011.html" target="_blank">Juventus</a> where Gianluigi Buffon truly cemented his legacy, winning 21 titles and capturing the 2006 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/FIFA-set-to-announce-new-World-Cup-format-20230314-0009.html" target="_blank">FIFA World Cup</a> for Italy. Now at Parma the 45-year-old shared a story on Twitch about the time he lost $11 million playing for PSG.</p> 
<p>Speaking with former Italy teammate Christian Vieri, <strong>Buffon revealed that he lost that sum of money when he left PSG due to issues of playing time.</strong></p> 
<h2>Why did Gianluigi Buffon give up $11 million?</h2> 
<p><em>"Leaving was the biggest mistake of my life, I gave up &euro;10 million ($11m).</em></p> 
<p><em>"They told me that [Alphonse] Areola would play in the Champions League and I didn't accept it. For me, the one who deserves it plays. That's why I returned to Juve.</em></p>

<p><em>"Then I regretted it, because Areola was injured, and they signed Keylor Navas in his place!</em></p> 
<p><em>"[Paris] was the most beautiful experience of my life. I felt like a free man. I quickly learned French, talked to people on the street, and visited museums... I had the feeling of playing in a great team."</em></p>
