Buffon wanted by Arsenal
Sunday 25 June, 2006
Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon could be playing in the Premiership with Arsenal next season, his agent has confirmed.
“The possibility exists, even if it is a complicated one,” representative Silvano Martina is quoted as saying.
“London would be an appetising destination and Arsenal a welcome solution. However, Gigi would rather stay in Italy.”
Buffon is set to be sold by the Italian giants this summer, especially with La Vecchia Signora facing the threat of demotion.
English giants Arsenal have taken an interest given the age of 36-year-old German international Jens Lehman, the man who currently guards their net.
Milan have also been associated with the ‘keeper, who is shining at the World Cup, even if they are unlikely to make a move until after the Calciopoli verdicts have been handed out.
Although Juventus paid a world record £32m for the former Parma man, they are now willing to sacrifice him for a fee of around £20m.
Possible replacements for Buffon include MilanÂ’s Christian Abbiati, who spent last term on loan in Turin, and Antonio Mirante who was loaned to Siena in 2005-06.
Manchester United, Real Madrid and Inter could take an interest in the shot-stopper too should he be officially put on the market. -
arsenal makes the first move
-
Buffon is good!!!!
Pls dun go to Arsenal!!!!!! -
20 million pounds is something Wenger would not be coughing out ba.
Buffon one of the very best around at the moment tho. -
Well 20 million for many years of good service is a worthy investment, proven
keeper at the highest level. -
match fixer

How come Milan never kena demoted for match fixing as it has a fair share? so unfair!

Yeh, like if it's Chelsea camp...yes,.... 20million..sap sap sui... but Wenger likely not. He spends more on players who are youthful and ones for the future.
ok la, still can't rule out Buffon donning Gunner's jersey.

Would have loved to see him in a Liverpool jersey.

what is the maximum players a club can have at most? i thought there is a limitation?Originally posted by BÃ¥seline:For all u know.. he might just buy the whole club in one swoop! -
Fifa states that one individual can only own one club.

But dun think Rafa will buy someone of his age though i know Cannavaro still have alot to offer.Originally posted by BÃ¥seline:He still very fit and bouncy at his age playing at the centre. should last till another 2 seasons...
A very 'teng' defender. -
He also owns this Russian club back home but think he uses another company name to claim it.Originally posted by RockeY:Fifa states that one individual can only own one club. -
Arsenal too poor to buy him la....They only buy players for the future...I am wondering when is their future
-
even if he is available hope arsenal dun buy him cos no keeper is worth more than 10mil... he still concedes goals like normal keepers... keeper can breed one... one possible transfer that will happen will be david trezeguet to arsenal cos wenger been tracking him for reunion long long time liao...

We could use Thuram, Trezeguet and Camoranesi.Originally posted by BrUtUs:even if he is available hope arsenal dun buy him cos no keeper is worth more than 10mil... he still concedes goals like normal keepers... keeper can breed one... one possible transfer that will happen will be david trezeguet to arsenal cos wenger been tracking him for reunion long long time liao...
