Gianluigi Buffon could be on the move from Juventus in the summer with Manchester United and Bayern Munich both eyeing up a move for the Italian goalkeeper. After Bayern suffered a shock 2-0 defeat to Bordeaux in the Champions League on Tuesday, Munich general manager Uli Hoeness hinted at signing a new goalkeeper throwing Buffon’s future at the club into doubt. Hoeness said: "[Hans-Joerg] Butt will continue until the end of the season, then we will buy a great 'keeper in the summer," Van der Sar has only recently returned from injury and is struggling to find his form conceding three goals in Manchester United’s 3-3 draw with CSKA Moscow last night. The United keeper, now 39-years-old, could be in his last season at Old Trafford with Buffon targeted as a potential replacement. Powered by: GiveMeFootball.com, the latest football news
