He was the main reason Italy tore Germany apart 4-1 in a recent friendly. Quite a physical player and I'm sure he'd cut it in the Premiership.
Basically it's probably only a matter of time before a big club comes in for him but he'll almost certainly stay in Italy. I don't think it's a matter of not being able to afford him, the top Italian players generally stay in Italy these days because the national team selection is completely biased towards players playing in Serie A. That's why it was a major surprise recently that Vieri got a recall despite playing in France.
You only have to look at Zola who should have got far more caps and Cudicini, who for a while was playing far better for Chelsea than Buffon was for Juve but never got a look-in.
Better than Buffon. No way!!!
I said FOR A WHILE.
Buffon had a dodgy season for Juve at the same time as Cudicini was the best keeper in the premiership. There were loads of calls for Cudicini to be in the Italy team at that time.

Form doesn't make you a better player than somebody else. Never has, never will.
but it helps
