| | Vialli: Gigi should consider City |
Monday 24 November, 2008 |
| Former Juventus hero Gianluca Vialli has advised Gigi Buffon to consider a move to Manchester City, but concedes he would be hard to replace.
Last week, there were reports that City's wealthy owners were preparing a £65m move for Old Lady No 1 Buffon.
Despite the Bianconeri's insistence Buffon is not for sale, the rumours continue to circulate.
“Buffon is 5/1 to join Manchester City? I'm not surprised by those odds,” Vialli told Sky Sport Italia.
“The Arab owners of the club have plenty of money and I think they want to build a very strong team.
“It could be an intelligent move and if I were Buffon I would certainly consider the deal because a £13m contract is a lot of money.
“Gigi is a fundamental player and I think Juve would find it very hard to replace him if he left because there is no player at his level available in the market,” Vialli concluded.
