No €70m Offer And No Champions League - Buffon
Juventus and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon admits that reports of a €70m Manchester City bid for him are pure fantasy and believes his side are not ready to challenge for the Champions League.
Reports in Italy claimed the English club were ready to table a mega world record-breaking swoop for the shot-stopper, but Buffon has poured cold water on the fiery hot rumours.
“There is no €70m offer for me - it’s as simple as that,” said Buffon.
“It’s all just a fantasy. It’s obvious that people would think about such an offer, but I don’t think it will arrive.”
Gigi then spoke about Juve’s Champions League ambitions this term. The emphasis is on continental success, but the 'keeper believes his side will not be lifting the trophy come May 2009.
“We are not ready to win the Champions League, but we will try and cause problems for the four or five favourite teams,” concluded the Italian.
The Azzurri number one will be keeping guard between the sticks on Saturday night for his country as they begin their World Cup defence against Cyprus in Lanarca.
