Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon will not be moving to Real Madrid, according to his agent.
The 35-year-old’s club come up against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League on October 23, but Silvano Martina told Los Blancos fans not to get used to the site of the World Cup winner on the pitch in the Spanish capital.

Rumours have suggested the Italy legend could be on his way to link up with Carlo Ancelotti at the nine-time European Cup winners. The future of Iker Casillas has been in doubt for some time since being dropped 10 months ago by Jose Mourinho and failing to get his place back this season.

Many see Buffon as the ideal replacement, but Martina told TuttoJuve that a move will never happen.

He said: “How am I meant to comment on a rumour like that? I do not know where it has come from, but it is pointless to even consider it. Real Madrid will be playing Juventus in the Champions League – and that will be the only meeting Buffon will have with them.”

Buffon joined Juventus from Parma in 2001 and is still the most expensive goalkeeper in the world having cost the Old Lady 54 million euros.
