Arsenal ready with £15M bid for Juventus No1 Buffon

Arsenal are set to offer £15 million for Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon.

The Sunday Mirror says the Gunners are ready to make their move should Juve be relegated as a result of the match-fixing scandal in Italy.
Buffon would be as keen to leave Juventus as the club would be to sell him.
Juventus would be deprived of the massive, multi-million-pound income that is generated by playing Serie A football in Italy and from their annual participation in the lucrative Champions League.
But they would still have massive financial commitments to players such as Buffon, who is thought to earn about £50,000 a week.
At 28, the man who is rated by many as the best keeper in the world still has at least six years left at the top level. Even at £15m, the fee would be seen as a bargain.
The competition for his signature will be fierce. But a new challenge like the Premiership might appeal to Buffon, who would share first-team duties with Lehmann next season and step in as the established No.1 when the German leaves.
