No ?70m Offer And No Champions League - Buffon Juventus and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon admits that reports of a ?70m Manchester City bid for him are pure fantasy and believes his side are not ready to challenge for the Champions League. Reports in Italy claimed the English club were ready to table a mega world record-breaking swoop for the shot-stopper, but Buffon has poured cold water on the fiery hot rumours. ?There is no ?70m offer for me - it?s as simple as that,? said Buffon. ?It?s all just a fantasy. It?s obvious that people would think about such an offer, but I don?t think it will arrive.? Gigi then spoke about Juve?s Champions League ambitions this term. The emphasis is on continental success, but the 'keeper believes his side will not be lifting the trophy come May 2009. ?We are not ready to win the Champions League, but we will try and cause problems for the four or five favourite teams,? concluded the Italian. The Azzurri number one will be keeping guard between the sticks on Saturday night for his country as they begin their World Cup defence against Cyprus in Lanarca.

Chiellini Back In Training Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is looking likely to be back for the Serie A match with Udinese next Sunday after returning to training, and taking part in a match within ranks today. Chiellini badly twisted his knee during the friendly defeat to Milan in the Berlusconi Trophy at San Siro on August 17, and there had been serious fears that he had suffered a cruciate ligament injury that could have ruled him out for six months or more. The injury proved not to be serious, although he was still expected to be out with a knee sprain for at least six weeks. Chiellini?s recovery has been miraculously fast though, and he is already back in training, taking part in an intense session this morning with those not on international duty. The 24-year-old also played in a training match within ranks, along with Marco Marchionni, David Trezeguet and Cristiano Zanetti, who are all recovering from injury too. The latter three all scored, and there is now every chance that they could be in contention for next week?s Serie A clash with Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico.

Manchester City To Bid ?70m For Buffon Juventus could lose Gianluigi Buffon to Manchester City as the Premier League side are ready to bid ?70m for the Italian goalkeeper, according to Leggo. The Citizens' new Arab owners are looking to take football to the next level as they attempt to bring in a host of the world?s greatest players thanks to their mega spending powers. Doctor Sulaim al-Fahim knows money talks and Buffon is next on his trasfer wishlist. ?If we can buy the greatest players in the world then we will; we only want the strongest,? said the chief. Leggo claims that the English club are ready to tempt the Old Lady with a mega ?70m bid for the experienced shot-stopper. Juventus are not likely to sell, however, given their Champions League ambitions, but such a massive offer is likely to raise some eyebrows in Turin. Buffon holds the record for being the most expensive goalkeeper in the world after Juve splashed out ?32m in 2001 to sign him from Parma. Manchester City?s owners are clearly not afraid to splash the cash and any serious offers may be considered. Juve, though, will be concerned by the threat of losing a key man.

Chiellini To Return For Next Serie A Match? Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini might be back sooner than expected following his knee injury. Initially it seemed like Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini would have had to stay out at least a month and a half following the knee injury he sustained during the Luigi Berlusconi Trophy against Milan. However, the diagnosis wasn't as bad as expected, and now it seems the Italian international could be back for the Bianconeri by mid-September. "Concerning my conditions, I have to be cautious," he said. "I got a big scare at the Berlusconi match, but now I'm improving and I started running again. We'll see how it goes if I start to kick the ball again." On Juve's opening match against Fiorentina, which saw them give up a 1-0 lead a minute before the end, he said: "I saw the match against Fiorentina and I was disappointed with the draw considering it seemed like we would be able to bring home the three points. Too bad, but I still saw a good Juve." The defender will have some time to recover before the league resumes on 13 September, after the international break for the World Cup qualifying matches.

Buffon expects fireworks Gianluigi Buffon trusts Juventus can fight it out for the Scudetto on a par with Inter and Milan. ?It?ll be the closest Serie A race in years.? The Bianconeri finished third last term after the Calciopoli scandal and the spell in Serie B, but have their sights firmly set on regaining the title. ?I am certain this is going to be the most important and closest Serie A race in years, because there are such top clubs and big stars to increase the prestige of the League,? he told Tuttosport. ?The likes of Jose Mourinho, Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko really raise the bar, as do Christian Poulsen and Olof Mellberg at Juve for the experience they bring.? Juventus make their seasonal debut this evening with a trip to Fiorentina. This year the real battle seems to be upfront, as Milan, Roma, Inter, Fiorentina and Juve have moved to strengthen their front lines. ?I absolutely agree that Juventus have the strongest strike force in the country. We have a devastating set of players with two certainties like David Trezeguet and Ale Del Piero who guarantee 35 goals per season, if not more. Not a bad start, eh? ?Plus we have a versatile figure like Vincenzo Iaquinta, who can make the difference even when coming off the bench, and Amauri was wanted by everyone, but chose to come to Juve.? Buffon is also looking forward to their return to the Champions League, even if it means entering the Group of Death with Real Madrid, Zenit and Bate Borisov. ?It?s wonderful to come back with a bang against Madrid! Do you know what my ideal group would be? Juve, Real, Barcelona and Manchester United. That would be tasty! After all, that?s what the Champions League was made for.?

Come al solito

Thanks my friend.

Stasera va meglio che in passato quando giocava la Juve e avevamo il vecchio server.

Chiellini Relieved After Injury Scare Juventus star Giorgio Chiellini has spoken of his relief after his knee injury proved to not be as serious as had first been feared. Chiellini badly twisted his knee during last night?s 4-1 defeat to Milan in the Berlusconi Trophy at San Siro, and there had been serious fears that he had suffered a cruciate ligament injury that could have ruled him out for six months or more. However, medical tests by Juventus doctors today revealed that Chiellini had experienced a first or second degree sprain in one of the muscles in his left knee, which will keep him sidelined for between 45 and 60 days. ?Fortunately the ligament is ok,? Chiellini said as he left the Fornaca Clinic in Turin. ?Any risk of more serious damage has been exorcized, which would have meant missing most of the season. ?I already had less pain this morning, but I was still a bit tense until I got the results. They definitely took a big weight off my chest. ?Now I'll concentrate on resting for a few days and then I'll start working to get back on the pitch, but without rushing. ?I just want to thank all my team mates, my friends and the fans who have been expressing their sympathy to me since last night.? Chiellini will now rest completely for the next 10 days, before he begins his journey back to fitness. The 24-year-old suffered a similar injury in January of this year, and missed a month before returning to the field.

Chiellini Out For Six To Eight Weeks Juventus fans will be able to sleep easier tonight after it was revealed that Giorgio Chiellini hasn't damaged his cruciate ligament. However, he is still expected to be out of action for around 45 to 60 days. Chiellini injured his knee during a tussle with Milan?s Alberto Paloschi during last night?s Trofeo Berlusconi at San Siro. The 24-year-old was eventually stretchered off the pitch in absolute agony, and there were fears that he had suffered a serious injury after he described having felt a ?crack? in his knee. The chances of a cruciate ligament injury which could have ruled him out for six months, or even longer, was very real, but medical tests carried out today by Juventus medics have ruled out such damage. Chiellini is expected to be back in action in around six to eight week?s time, which could mean a return around the end of September. He is likely to miss the first four Serie A games against Fiorentina, Udinese, Cagliari and Catania, as well as the second leg of Juventus? Champions League qualifier, and the first group game should they make it to the tournament proper. Internationally he will miss Italy?s friendly against Austria on Wednesday, and his place in the squad has been taken by club colleague Nicola Legrottaglie. He will also be absent from the Azzurri?s first two 2010 World Cup qualifiers away at Cyprus on September 6, and at home to Georgia four days later. A possible return could be Juventus? trip to Sampdoria on September 28.

Sunderland Chase Chiellini Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is being chased by Premier League side Sunderland, according to Tuttosport. The stopper has been linked with a number of English teams this summer with Manchester City having shown an interest previously. Roy Keane is now looking to enter the race as he attempts to bring in some muscle at the back. Tuttosport claims the Black Cats are ready to test the Bianconeri's resolve with a sizable offer. However, it is unlikely that Juve will consider letting Chiellini move as he is regarded as a first choice in Claudio Ranieri?s team. The Italian international has been outstanding for club and country and he was one of La Nazionale?s best defenders during Euro 2008. Chiellini joined Juventus in 2005 from Fiorentina and he has established himself as one of the top defenders in Serie A. The Old Lady has Champions League and Scudetto ambitions this term and the Pisa-born centre-back is likely to stay. Ranieri has his own problems at the back with a number of injuries hitting his defenders. Dario Knezevic, Jorge Andrade and Christian Molinaro are all injured. Thus, selling Chiellini to another club seems impossible.

Cabrini: Chiellini In My Top 5 Defenders Defensive legend Antonio Cabrini has heaped praise upon Juventus back Giorgio Chiellini... Former Juventus and Italy defender Antonio Cabrini has added to the many voices in Italy touting current Juve centre back Chiellini as one of the best in the world and the leader of the new generation of great Italian defenders. Italy has a rich tradition of defensive powerhouses with names like Gentile, Scirea, Maldini and Baresi instantly springing to mind. Now, an heir in in the shape of tall 23-year-old Chiellini may have been found. Cabrini sees the former Livorno and Fiorentina player as the fifth best defender in the world after the highly regarded Alessandro Nesta, Philippe Mexes, Christoph Metzelder and Fabio Cannavaro. ?His most important characteristic is his ability to react quickly despite his size, a quality which he probably developed while playing on the wing,? said former World Cup winner Cabrini. Indeed, Chiellini is still young, turning 24 on the 14 August, with a great deal of time to develop and improve his game further. ?He only began playing the central defensive role with continuity at the beginning of last season and still has plenty to improve upon,? said Cabrini, adding, ?I believe that in the future he can reach the levels of Nesta and Cannavaro at his best.? These are flattering words that will surely motivate the 13-times-capped player to reach new heights in his game.
