#1 Gianluigi Buffon
Barcelona know how to find the best young talent around the world. The Catalan side's scouts had Gianluigi Buffon on their list during his time at Parma.
The Spanish side made a move for him and so did Juventus. The Italian goalkeeper had a tough choice to make but he ended up declining Barcelona's offer to join Juve instead.
“I could have joined Barcelona in 2001. However, I decided to join Juventus after discussing it with my father and I'm still grateful for it. Being at Juventus is a unique experience and has brought me a lot of satisfaction. And let's not forget that Barcelona back then were nothing like the team they are now,” said Buffon in an interview with Mediaset.
