«Gigi is not for sale at all costs, he is priceless and besides there is no deal, there has never been any contact between the two clubs and there has never been an offer for Buffon by Manchester City. There is no truth in these rumours. I can rest the mind of all our supporters that Gigi will go on playing for us for many years to come and will play in the new Juventus home in the 2011/12 season. I am surprised how this sort of news always emerges just before a big match but in the world of football everything is possible.»

-Jean-Claude Blanc, Juve managing director.

If it’s true then it’s awesome how rumours can just be made up and spread around so easily.
