Juve and out for Buffon?
Wednesday 8 September, 2004

Gigi Buffon has revealed that he may quit the game when his current contract at Juventus expires.
The No 1 is tied to the Delle Alpi outfit until 2009 and he seems ready to end his career with the Turin giants.
"It is difficult to improve on Juventus," said the Italy ace. "I have a contract with the Bianconeri until 2009 and that could be enough for me.
"At this moment in time I have no desire to play abroad either, as I’m not curious about football outside of Italy."
Looking ahead to the new campaign, the former Parma shot-stopper is convinced that the Scudetto will be won by Milan, Inter or Juve.
"It will be a three horse race," he continued. "Juventus? We perhaps lacked character last season. This time though we will also have a 100 per cent Alex Del Piero."
Buffon will next be in action this evening as he will guard the Azzurri goal in the World Cup qualifier at Moldova.
"There is a good mix of young players and experience here now," he noted. "There is a good spirit too. Now all we need are the results."
