Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon insists he still feels valued at the club.

Buffon is primarily back-up to Wojciech Szczesny this season.

He said, Right now I'm in a psychological and physical condition where I still feel like an important player.

I haven't yet examined my own future and I also have the serenity to psychoanalyse and evaluate my own performances.

When I realise I can't play like I want, I will sit down with the club and tell them it's over."

On last season in Paris, he added: I went to Paris because I couldn't turn down the kind of sporting and economical offer they gave me at PSG.

When you are 40 years old and a club this big comes in for you, it's also flattering. I wanted to gain a new experience and step out of my comfort zone.

One night when I was on my own I decided to return to Juve, asking myself: 'At 41 years old, what am I doing here alone in Paris when my family is in Italy?'

I forced PSG's hand and when Juve made me their offer, that seemed the right choice so I accepted it immediately."
