Buffon's less than cheerful vibes could prompt him to leave for pastures new, according to reports...
Gianluigi Buffon wants to get away from the ongoing troubles at Juventus, with Bayern Munich and Manchester City both ready to provide some relief.
Tuttosport claims Buffon has had enough of enduring dissapointment following the Old Lady's third straight defeat, a 2-1 home loss to Roma on Saturday.
The goalkeeper is quoted as having said: "Always on the counter attack...that's enough, I cannot take it anymore," as he walked through the Stadio Olimpico tunnel after the game.
Juve are now four points off the Champions League pace, and failure to qualify for that competition could prove a further strain on the 32-year-old.
Whilst Buffon has always showed the club a strong sense of loyalty post Calciopoli, the recent slide has prompted him to change his view.
Both Bayern Munich and Manchester City are said to be tracking the goalkeeper, despite his agent Silvano Martina claiming last week that there are no plans for a move.

can anybody confirm this from a source other than Gdotcum?

If he has no confidence in the management. Why should he stay. No signs, that this will improve. He has given this club so much, and what does he get back? Idiots all over the line.... My first thought... This is BS roumours. But then I thought, why not - everybody has a threshold of how much shit they can endure....

Bayern in particular are looking to reinforce between the sticks with Michael Rensing failing to convince and Hans Jorg-Butt not getting any younger.
Oliver Kahn, the Bayern goalkeeping legend, urged the German giants to make a move for Buffon last week, telling the club that he would take them to the next level.
Speaking to Tutto Mercato Web, Silvano Martina, said: “Buffon has three and a half years left on his current deal. For now, we are simply talking about rumours.
“In reality, it would take a team with enough money to satisfy both the player and Juventus,” Martina concluded.
Buffon remains the most expensive goalkeeper in the world following his €51.5m transfer from Parma to Juventus in 2001. [/FONT]
