Buffon hopes the move boils over and transforms into a solid deal.
"Dzeko is a player who does not need any introduction," Buffon told Sky Sport Italia.
"I think he is among the top five strikers in Europe now and he has been for at least two years. He would surely be a great buy.”
"He has always done well wherever he has been. I think he has the right qualities to stay at a club like Juventus for a very long time," he concluded.
