Although it does hurt Juve's bargaining power with Buffon only wanting to go to Milan, I think there are a coupel of things that we have to consider.
#1) He's Italian (Obviously), and wanting to keep his family rooted here, I'm sure would be one of his foremost priorities.
#2) If expected, Juve are relegated to Serie B, then Juventus have no leverage whatsoever with these players. To get 15 million for Buffon right now just might be the best that they can do.
Look at it this way. Its pretty much a foregone conclusion that Cannavaro, Zambrotta and the like will be gone.
If Juve can get 15 Million for Buffon, then consider just how much they can get for 2 players whom, in my opinion, fared better in the World Cup (Canna, Zambo) than Buffon did.
I think that calling him a Heretic, or traitor, because the team is going to be relegated, and with him wanting to play for a team that has a chance at Silverware while he is in the prime of his career, might be pushing it a little.
Buffon as you said is an Italian,
he chossed to join Juventus, this is a lifetime choice
all these years the Juventini Fans loved and respected him as very few players within our team did the same, maybe more because he was reporting that he i a Juventino, he loves our club and will stay here for the next 10 years...
he bought a house in IIRC Milan and had those Milan thoughts/rumours even before the scandal, but noone questioned super Gigi's face,
he was one of our symbols, he wouldnt left us for our arch-enemy,
but it seems that he betrayed our louyalty and faith to his face,
he could play at any team in the world (besides Chelsea maybe) and he chosses Milan,
a Juventino love is smth sacred although he is much younger than Thuram,Nedved,Del Piero,Cannavaro and has much more years of football within and he can sacrifice one year of his carrier for the love of Juve,
but he was hurry to find an alternative solution,
at these dificult moments the true Juventini will demonstrate their love to the club, even leaving for Arsenal and bringing in 25 mil would be a respectuos act (not the apropriate for a Juve flag of his caliber, but...)
instead of beeing a flag and support our club in the worst moment of its history he chooses to run and he was the first to anounce such a thing,
i wont be surprised to see Zebina,Emerson,Vieira,Zlatan to leave us but watching him being the first to leave did surprised me...
all these wouldnt make him a
heretic though,
leaving us for Milan but all clubs under such conditions is the the worst thing of the options he had available,
we could just loan him for a year if that was his only problem (wasting a year of his precius cariet to B for us)
if he an Italian, one of the most famous Juve players runs away like that,
what would the rest do?
he is about to become the worst ex and lead the way to our total economical disaster,
instead of remain united and help Juve as much as possible before he goes,
he will act like that?
he isnot just looking for his own good but he does harms Juventus the worse way,
if Milan knows that the player is desperate to join them, they would offer much less, if they were feeling threatened that Arsenal or someone else might grab him instead, they would offer more (just like they did with Gila)
He can still play his part right and bring in a good amount of cash joing his favourite Milan, but if he leaves firstfor Milan bringing in such a ridiculus amount of cash will become the heretic for ever...
