It’s being reported in numerous press agencies this morning that Gianluigi Buffon has given Arsenal a come and get me plea in the wake of his decision to play in the Premier League next season. The vastly experienced goalkeeper has become increasingly unsettled with his current club Juventus over the lack of structure and stability surrounding the club and therefore has requested a transfer.
The Italian, who is 32 and still relatively young for someone in his position, remains the world's most expensive keeper after his £32.6million transfer from Parma nine years ago.
He still has three years on his Juve contract. But the Turin giants have failed to qualify for next season's Champions League and Buffon admits he could be tempted by a switch to England.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been left fuming after blunders by keepers Manuel Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski, and although stating recently that all transfer rumours currently surrounding the club were untrue, is undeniably on the search for new recruits as he also stated at Arsenal’s pre-match press conference versus Wigan.
Buffon said: "If I had to leave, I think England would be my destination.
"My desire to leave Juve is equal to that of Juve's will to have me leave.
"We will see if we will decide for our paths to continue together."
