Buffon agent slams exit talk
Gigi Buffon’s agent has rubbished rumours insisting that his client would be leaving Juventus at the end of this season.
Some reports in recent weeks had associated the goalkeeper with a switch, Milan being one of his possible destinations.
But Silvano Martino has today told the Guerin Sportivo magazine that there is no divorce on the cards.
“I’ll start by saying that Juventus have no intention of depriving themselves of Buffon and Gigi hasn’t manifested a desire to join another club,” he stated.
“It’s also the case that I am unaware of any proposed offers which Juventus have received for my client.
“Unfortunately I keep reading absurd stories, untruths, even inventions of disagreements with [boss Fabio] Capello and the club.”
Whispers had claimed that Buffon would be allowed to leave given the impressive form of understudy Christian Abbiati this term.
“All the rumours are false,” added Martino. “Gigi is happy in Turin and has no problems with Capello, his teammates or the directors.
“That is why he will remain in between the sticks for the club for some time to come yet.”
Juventus landed Buffon in the summer of 2001 after they had a £33m offer, a world record fee for a shot-stopper, accepted by Parma.

As unlikely as it is for me to say this, I think that selling Buffon would be a bad idea. When you are a big club, looking to improve, you buy better players than you have. There are players that could be bought to equal Buffon's level of performance, but you'd have a hard time beating it, and players like that would not come cheap. That being said, why would Milan want to buy Buffon anyway? Don't they get Abiatti back at hte ned of the season?
I don't know if this has been posted yet.
