Buffon reveals overseas ambition Sunday 20 March, 2005
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Gianluigi Buffon has revealed he intends to end his career overseas, while Alberto Gilardino is looking at a big Serie A side first.
“I will stay in Turin for a long time,” insisted the Juventus goalkeeper in today’s Tuttosport newspaper. “But I won’t rule out the opportunity to play in other Leagues. It would be a great experience and I like to live life to the full.”
Buffon is generally considered to be the best goalkeeper in the world and is still only 27 years of age, but he has already won the Scudetto and completed a record-breaking £30m move from Parma in 2001.
He has been linked with a number of international giants, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, but he insists he won’t leave Juve anytime soon.
Another Parma hero looking to move on to bigger things is Alberto Gilardino, who has been transfer linked with Madrid, Arsenal, Juventus and especially Milan.
“If I should leave Parma, I would like to do it with some fond memories of the Stadio Tardini,” the striker told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“In any case, I would only move on if I received an offer from a really big club. I certainly thought Juventus would do more to sign me in the summer, but at the end of the day I am happy the way things panned out. I still see my future in Italy.”
Most sources believe that Milan have already captured his signature for next season, but the Italian international is concentrating on Parma’s salvation and the 2006 World Cup for now.
“There is a real harmony in the Nazionale at the moment,” he stated. “I immediately settled into the squad. It’s all down to Marcello Lippi, who is a winning Coach and knows how to build a group that has the same team spirit as at club level.”
