Juve to field US$100m Buffon bid?

Juventus could sell Gianluigi Buffon to Man City as the Serie A side are willing to entertain a US$100 million windfall.
The Sky Blues' new owners, Abu Dhabi United are looking to take Man City to the summit of football as they attempt to lure the world's best to the City of Manchester Stadium.
Dr. Sulaim al-Fahim knows he's got the dough to break the bank and bring in the Italian shot-stopper.
"If we can buy the greatest players in the world then we will; we only want the strongest," said Man City's ownership representative.
Sources have it that the Barclays Premier League side are ready to bid as early as the January transfer window.
The Old Lady are not likely to part with their prized keeper, but the bid will undoubtedly raise discussion in Turin.
Buffon is currently the most expensive goalkeeper in the world after Juventus gave Parma US$64 million seven years ago.
The Turin-based club will not want to lose a key component to their team, but no one is irreplaceable, especially in the face of US$100 million.
