Secco: "40m € for Buffon? Maybe just for a co-ownership deal...Gigi is worth 80m €...I'll do everything to keep him BUT can't promise anything".


He's gone. Anyway if a team can pay close to that amount we can make a superstar team right away like we did with Zidane's sale.

Exactly. For that amount of money I would sell him even to Inter. Do you know what a team we could make with extra 80 million euros? :shocked: :drool:

That´s not true. Arsenal can´t afford Gigi. Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern are happy with goalkeepers they already have. Maybe only Barcelona could make us a offer.
It wouldn´t be stupid at all if we invest that money wisely. For example, Milan gets Buffon and we get 3 class players. How is that stupid? Milan will strengthen their squad and we wil strengthen our squad even more.

I prefer selling him abroad but if we don´t receive any offers there are no solutions left then to sell him to Milan.

Anyway, nothing has been decided yet and Buffon could indeed stay at the club after all. There is 50% chance for that.
I meant that it would be stupid to strenghten Milan like we strenghted Inter in the summer. For example Liverpool would never sell Gerrad to Man U or Chelsea. And noone form Lampard and C Ronaldo can go to any other English team. First bicoz he wouldn't want that and second bicoz they won't let him.
If Milan give us Abiatti + Gila + money this won't be good deal nor yet just 30-35 mln. The only good deal would be to weaken their team by getin some between Gatuso, Pirlo, Nesta or Kaka. Yes bicoz Buffon for us is the same like Kaka for them.
Liverpool need a keeper too (Reina is shit). They will heve lots of money for transfers this summer too. I heard that Real are interested too (they are interested in every star player). Man u will need a keeper bicoz Van Der saar is too old. Arsenal don't have money but have players. There are many possibilities.

he doesn't want to go abroad, he wants to stay in Italy.So that leaves two options
:agree:

I'm thinking the same thing. We sold Zidane and won scudetto thanks to a transfer fee we got from Real. I'm not saying we are gonna repeat the same thing but for that kind of money we can talk about BIG players :faq1:

Juve set Buffon price Wednesday 25 April, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco has insisted that Gigi Buffon will not leave Turin for less than £50m.

The Bianconero was one of the first to commit to the outfit after the club’s demotion last summer, but he was recently paired with a move after he declared that he missed playing in the Champions League.

Reports in Italy suggest that both Milan clubs are in a race to sign the Italy goalkeeper, who was reportedly valued by the Bianconeri at £28m.

“Granted that Juventus do not intend to put Buffon on the market, the £28m I have read about would only be enough for a co-ownership,” said Secco to Sky on Wednesday.

“Buffon is a target for many teams, not only Roberto Mancini’s side, but £28m would never be enough.

“You want me to promise that he will not leave? I don’t make promises, it’s not in my nature,” concluded Secco.

Former director general Luciano Moggi declared on Tuesday that he was sure Buffon would move to Milan as Rossoneri goalkeeper Nelson Dida was set to move to a foreign club.

However, the Brazilian custodian did recently agree a new £2.8m per year at the San Siro, despite some high-profile errors this term.


I remmber how he say somthing similar before selling Ibra... still he manage only to sell him for half the amount he delares.

We can live without Gigi but we wont see glory. He is priceless. Its a shame ppl are putting price tags on him. . . I think we lost him:cry: to Milan, after seeing Dida's performance last night.

Every great team have a phenomenon player in thier starting 11, Milan have Kaka, Man have Ronaldo, Barca have Messi and Ronnie.

Buffon is simply our phenomenon, a goal keeper who has somthing extra above anyone else... we should not place price tag on him not even £50m.

If Buffon happens to leave for that price, I will accept it. It would be stupid not to. That being said, I still don't believe Secco has the smarts to be in the position he is in. The way things are going, he'll accept half of that and two piss-poor players on the brunt end of their careers.

£25m + Cafu and Favalli would make sense for Secco.
