Now this is some other news.

Buffon to United for Vidic?

Gianluigi Buffon admitted to doubts over his future and it’s reported he’d accept Manchester United in exchange for Nemanja Vidic plus £20m.

Juventus have repeatedly stated they will not sell their goalkeeper, but the likely failure to qualify for the Champions League has precipitated a change of heart.

“The decision does not depend on Champions League qualification, but we must carry on in these circumstances and at the end of the season we’ll see what happens,” confessed Buffon.

Tuttosport newspaper now suggests that Manchester United are the more likely destination, as they can offer a large cash sum plus defender Vidic.

They need an heir to the ageing Edwin Van der Sar, while Manchester City also have the funds to intervene.

Bayern Munich have been linked with Buffon before as a replacement for Hans Jorg Butt.

Juventus already have their eye on next season with several options open to them, including Cagliari goalkeeper Federico Marchetti, Palermo’s Salvatore Sirigu and Villarreal man Diego Lopez.

Tuttosport points out that Diego Lopez shares an agent with Rafa Benitez, who is still considering an offer to take over at Juve.

The Liverpool manager would be given a large budget to revolutionise the squad and likely names are Lyon’s Michel Bastos and PSV Eindhoven starlet Ibrahim Afellay.

Juventus-Buffon: divorzio annunciato



But even before I said that I wouldn't be surprised. Still, this sucks.

 

[Martin]

If anything, it's shocking that it hasn't happened long before now. This is a mid table club ffs.

 

[Zlatan]

TBH, it could be the spark we need to get us back on the right track, just like the departure of Zidane meant that NEdved, Thuram and Buffon arrived.

 

[Amaurisimo]

if we are getting Vidic and 20 mil. I am all for it.
With Rafa and 3-4 new players we can start revolution.

I would not mind if DP becomes one of directors and give a place to Diego

 

[Ken]

Here we go again.

 

[juventino320]

hopefully Gigi will not leave
but i have the feeling thats he is going to man u after all,and i am not surprised, why he would stay any way

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

I want Buffon stay but 20 million + Vidic offer is acceptable. Chiellini-Vidic would be dream duo. it's just tuttosport though.

 

[juventino320]

i hope its just a romours,but juve have been linked with many goal keepers this year

 

[Salvatore]

We're not getting Vidic FFS So funny.

 

[Salvo]

we will see i guess, it will depend on the new coach IMO

it has been said so many times i never believed it but this time around i feel there is a chance

 

[IrishZebra]

Gigi and Chiellini are the only WC players on our team, don't sell either, Vidic is past it

 

[juventino320]

as a juve fan i dont want to see buffon leaving,but logiclly the offer is very good it can build our defence line with vidic and the 20m cash for martin cacerase and another defender

We'll have to replace Buffon as well, that won't be cheap.

 

[IrishZebra]

150M + Messi and we'll talk

Kiev, Pinsoglio

 

[Bozi]

20m + Vidic is probably the best offer we could hope for,forget that Vidic has had a poor season,he is unsettled right now,he is a top quality defender

 

[Toro_Merda]

Just sell him!
