Juventus are back in Serie A, but Gianluigi Buffon hints he probably won’t be staying in Turin for that debut.

“I will tell you one thing – this party has to remain in my history and that of Juventus, because it is worth more than a Scudetto,” said the goalkeeper.


For several months now he has been cagey about his future, noting that had the Calciopoli demotion not occurred he would have already moved on seeking ‘new adventures.’


With Milan and Inter lining up to take him on, the World Cup winner’s comments after the 5-1 victory at Arezzo had a feel of farewell about them.


“I dedicate this promotion to the people who convinced me to stay. As for the future, no, this is not the time to talk about it. We’ll discuss the matter in a few weeks.”


Buffon’s contract runs until 2011, but it’s believed there was a verbal agreement between the club and goalkeeper freeing him if he helped them to climb out of Serie B.


He was the Bianconeri’s all-time biggest signing at £32m from Parma in 2001 and was runner-up in the Ballon d’Or this year behind former Juve teammate Fabio Cannavaro.

Didnt know where to put this, but looks as though Buffon is gonna be on his way to Milan this summer.

I can't notice this "feel of farewell" in his comments!?

If he was truely dedicated in staying, he would have stated it. Otherwise, he is just waiting for the third party (agent) to prepare everything for him.

Of course he's not "dedicated to stay"... but it doesn't seem like he's dedicated to go either!

I think he's just waiting.

He'll probably have a talk with the president/Owner and whoever, see what their plans are/who they're looking to buy.

I think he'll wait a bit into the summer to see how things go. If he feels they can push for CL football, he'll stay. If not, he'll be out of there.

Sheesh, I don't see how Dida's going to be able to relax on Wednesday, because even if he makes 435 saves and we win 17-0, he might still get the boot in the summer.

Channel 4 like to say a lot of sh1t. Most of their articles are like this. They put a controversial title and then when your read the quotes, it doesn't reflect the same thing at all.

To me, it is the most reliable source on the internet. The rest are just garbage

Yes, because only the most reliable source has the phrase "according to sources in Italy" in nearly all its articles. Football Italia - the site and the magazine - is a hack.

I think it may be a ploy to make Dida play.

Just like us stating interest in Sheva and Drogba right before the Final. It's to make Gila work his @ss off.
