Gianluigi Buffon insists that he had
an infinite number of reasons to stay at Juventus despite being
heavily tipped for a mega-bucks move earlier this
summer.
"First of all, after many years at this club, in this glorious
team, to find a better level was practically impossible, explained
the World Cup winning goalkeeper, who put pen-to-paper on a
five-year contact in July.
I like the idea, the ambition of being able to construct something
new and in these prestigious colours, as we did some time ago, he
added.
If I lacked this hunger, then it would have been useless to have
stayed."
Buffon concluded by claiming that he never truly thought about
leaving the club that he has become such a vital part of since
joining from Parma in 2001.
"I never considered the transfer market, insisted the
29-year-old.
I had offers, but I won't say from who. Juve were always first on
my mind."
