It will have only remained one season (2018-2019) and will have played 25 games with PSG all competitions, however Gianluigi Buffon will still cost Parisians dearly. Indeed, in a judgment rendered on July 10, the Paris Court of Appeal ordered PSG to settle part of the tax adjustment of Gianluigi Buffon according to The team. The legendary Italian goalkeeper was informed of a recovery of more than 1.2 million euros by the Italian administration for his income declared in 2018, a period which therefore corresponds to its passage from Juventus to Paris.
The former captain of the old lady, aged 47, would have relied on a clause inscribed in his employment contract which would indicate: “In the event of recovery before December 31, 2023 of Italian income tax on income paid in 2018 (…) PSG undertakes to take charge of 50 % of this Italian tax within the limit of € 250,000 net of social and tax charges. This care will constitute an additional impatriation premium. ” After a shy passage on the side of the capital, Gigi Buffon was not up to the expectations of Parisian supporters.
