Gianluigi Buffon has dismissed persistent speculation that he could leave Juventus.
Buffon, 32, has been frequently linked with a move away from the club, with Manchester United said to be monitoring his situation.
However, Buffon – still recovering from back surgery – insists he has no intention of leaving the club.
“I am staying at Juve,” he told Sky Italia. “There isn’t any doubt about that. The project is ambitious, like me. I will be playing again by the end of January.”
At the weekend, Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta indicated that a sale was highly unlikely, although he admitted that anything was possible.
“Even I don’t know what will happen, but what is certain is that Buffon remains our player, not only because he still has a long time left on his contract but also because he is still the best goalkeeper in the world,” he said.
On Monday, he added: “Although anything can happen in the transfer market, Gigi is a symbol for this team. He’ll stay.”
