da supremo: Italian World Cup winner Gigi Buffon is one of many goalkeepers who have been touted as a potential answer to Manchester United or Arsenal’s requirement for a new goalkeeper for next season.
da pinnacle: With Edwin van der Sar’s impending retirement and Arsenal’s shortage of a dominant No 1, Buffon would fit the bill.
The Juventus No 1 is the most expensive goalkeeper in the world at a reported £32.5 million. If the 33 year old does want to leave The Old Lady this summer he could invoke a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for free, which was instated when he stayed with Juve after their relegation to Serie B.
Although, the noises coming out of Turin from Buffon’s agent Silvano Martina suggest Buffon is intent on staying with Juve. “I really don’t understand why there are constant rumours regarding Buffon.”
“Gigi has 2 and a half years left on his contract and he is more than happy at Juve.” (SUN)
If Martina is right, then the top two in England will have to divert their attentions elsewhere in their search for a new No 1.
