Buffon Makes Juventus Pledge
(Soccer365.com) - Juventus netminder Gianluigi Buffon says he would accept a move to AC Milan, but prefers to continue with the relegated Bianconeri.
The Turin side were dropped to Serie B for their part in the Italian referee fixing controversy.
"I told the club if they need to sell me do so, but if you want me to remain, I will stay," said Buffon.
"More than anything it's about gratitude towards the club, the family that manages it, the fans," said the star keeper. "A lot of people continue telling me that I will be sold to Milan."
"I wouldn't say no, but I would be disappointed."

Buffon is an example of what made Juventus the best team in the Italian league, because of the character and integrity of it's players. It's a travesty what's been done to Juve, they were made a scapegoat for the league, why were only they demoted to Serie B,why not AC Milan & Fiorentina. Berlusconi fixed it so his team would not suffer a real punishment.

Hats off to Buffon. Finally, a superstar that doesn't mind playing for a relegated team. If he does end up in Milan, I still see him as a class act!
