Juve to sell Buffon and other red-hot gossip

Gianluigi Buffon has been offered to Manchester City and Bayern Munich by Juventus. According to reports, the Italian giants are hoping that a bidding war for the goalkeeper will net them £30m. Buffon is the highest paid keeper in the world with a basic salary of ££5m. The club are looking to overhaul their ageing squad in the summer with Buffon, Alessandro Del Piero, David Trezeguet and Fabio Cannavaro all set to leave. Elsewhere, Fulham are favourites to snap up Wigan defender Paul Scharner whose contract is up at the end of the season; Arsenal defender William Gallas is ready to sign a new contract following showdown talks between the club and his agent; and David Beckham has lost his position as the best paid footballer in the world to Lionel Messi, with the Barcelona player's annual pay rising to £29.6m.
