Gianluigi Buffon has revealed he would be ready to leave
Juventus if he was made a similar offer to that which Manchester
City sought to tempt Kaka.
Kaka's decision to snub a £500,000-a-week
contract offer from City to remain with Milan was
evidence that the devout Brazilian does indeed 'belong to Jesus'
and not the almighty dollar.
However Manchester City's bitter chairman, the Garry Cook
that spoiled the broth, complained afterwards that his team had
been duped.
Should Cook and City move for Buffon with similarly
lavish intent, negotiations would prove a whole lot simpler.
For his own sake and that of his club, the Italy
international goalkeeper claims he is ready to roam in
the realms of fantasy football.
"I am a football man," Buffon told Gazzetta dello Sport. "I know
you have to do your sums and I know teams are also businesses.
"Therefore, if a fantasy football bid came in I would be ready
to go.
"I would also do it to relieve a justifiable embarrassment from
a club like Juventus, to whom I owe so much."
