Gianluigi Buffon has given the clearest indication yet he intends to leave Juventus at the end of the season and a possible option is Milan.

“I have no doubts and know I will make the right decisions,” commented the goalkeeper after this evening’s 3-2 Trofeo Berlusconi defeat to the Rossoneri.


“I want to let the next two or three months pass and see Juventus back in Serie A with a solid lead. Then I will make the right choices along with the club.”


There is a strong hint that it is time Buffon move on to pastures new, although he could not be accused of abandoning the ship after he was one of the few stars to stay on despite their demotion in the Calciopoli scandal.


“I keep reading all these articles on my future, but as usual I’m the calmest one in these situations! I am just waiting for things to settle down a little bit. With or without me, it will always be a great Juve. This club has shown it can survive big name sales.”


The world’s top goalkeeper has been heavily linked with Milan and Inter, but warns they aren’t his only options.


“If I were to leave Juventus, then I would also consider an overseas experience, but I don’t see many clubs out there who need a ‘keeper. The same is true of Italy, as Inter and Milan have those positions covered.”


Yet with Dida’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, the Rossoneri in particular are eager to snap up Buffon.


Praise also came from Carlo Ancelotti following the Trofeo Berlusconi encounter at San Siro.


“Buffon is a champion above and beyond club colours. All fans of football respect him, as he is an extraordinary talent and a very uncomplicated person. He proved once again today what he’s truly worth,” said the Coach.


Milan got the 3-2 victory and hope it will continue their revival in Serie A and the Champions League as well.


“We have a lot to work on, but in the last four days we have trained hard and showed good spirit, so I am confident. We need to keep more possession, especially with the creative midfielders at our disposal.”

He's goin' Inter for sure.

it's really flattering to hear Buffon might come to Milan but really as long as we have Dida, we shouldn't talk about him..

i donno porty, i'm gonna have to disagree with ya there. I think we will prove to all the cocky inter fans in italy the true meaning of murinho's quote in your sig.
