Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon, who now plies his trade with Parma in Serie B, has praised Paulo Dybala for choosing to continue his career with Roma. Following a summer transfer saga, the Argentine playmaker denied a move to Inter and instead transferred to Jose Mourinho’s Giallorossi.
The iconic goalkeeper spoke at the Premi Scopigno e Pulici award ceremony in Rome, particularly regarding Dybala’s free agency to Roma.
“I can only pay Paulo a big compliment for what he is doing. Nobody has doubts about his qualities, I’m sure he needed a challenge and he chose the most beautiful with Roma.”
Dybala suffered a qudriceps injury against Lecce on Sunday – an injury that might rule him out for the World Cup just a month away. Buffon wished the Argentine a quick recovery.
“He is very happy for what he is giving and he is receiving, now we hope he can recover for the World Cup.”
