Buffon would leave “for a fantasy football bid”

Gianluigi Buffon would leave Juventus if he was the subject of a “fantasy football bid” like AC Milan playmaker Kaka, the goalkeeper said.

Italy goalkeeper Buffon has been linked with Manchester City, the world’s richest club after their takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group last year.”I am a man of football. 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,” the 30-year-old told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I would also do it to relieve a justifiable embarrassment from a club like Juventus, to whom I owe so much”, Buffon added.
