why would Real Sell Casillas, a fan favourite and an icon there to get Buffon?
Because they have a coach who's an Italian and who thinks Buffon is the best in the world.
If Capello wins spanish league and brings the first trophy to Madrid since 2003 then i dont think the fans or Real Madrids directors will doubt and reject coaches wishes and demands and i dont think anyone in Madrid will cry about losing Casillas to Buffon.
And if Buffon wants to go away from Juve then i doubt he wont like to try himself in one of the most succesful teams in the world where he can play together with his former coach and his former club/Nt teammates Cannavaro, Emerson and Cassano.
Only Casillas may refuse to join us and it will fuck up this transfer.
If Buffon must leave us then i'm all for sending him to Madrid for 20m+Casillas. Gigi never ruled out Spain. He said he would like to stay in Italy but he never ruled out Spain or England. He only said the best english and spanish teams don't need him and wont make some good offer. Then he said how Inter and Milan also don't need him after JC and Dida signed new contracts .
With an Italian coach i can imagine Real Madrid making a good offer for Buffon.
Though i don't think the source is reliable.
