Speculation in the Bianconeri camp suggest that the veteran keeper could step up to take hold of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Del-Piero-c4726’s coveted jersey.
Latest reports in the media have pointed out that Gigi Buffon could opt to take over the coveted number 10 shirt of Juventus, which has been left vacant by the retiring legend http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-c4710 Del Piero.
The number 10 jersey represents a historic value at the Turin giants, as some of their greatest players have worn and honoured the number.
The wanted digit on the shirt is up for grab following the retirement of Del Piero, the last owner of the shirt, and the selection of a befitting successor is causing a bit of a rift between the players in the squad.
Now reports have emerged that Buffon is planning to take hold of the shirt for himself, in order to put an end to the friction between the competing players of the team to get the jersey.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724 is reportedly interested in gracing the shirt with his shoulders, and has several contenders in the camp already including some new signings.
Moreover, Juventus are also interested in signing Fiorentina starlet http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stevan-Jovetic-c34163, who could also have a strong interest in wearing the jersey that is prized in Turin.
Buffon currently wears his favourite number one, and will have to leave his shirt vacant in order to get hold of the number 10.
The Gazzetta dello Sport report that the initiative by the goalkeeper could also be an attempt by the veteran to save any new player, who wears the jersey, from the crumbling expectations of living up to the legendary shirt at the Old Lady.
President Andrea Agnelli has also stated in a recent statement that the he will not be having any say in deciding upon the successor for the coveted shirt, and insisted that he would prefer leaving the matter for the players to decide among themselves.
If Buffon chooses to take on the jersey, this will not be his first time wearing a number other than his favourite digit 1, as he also supported the No. 77 and 88 during his stint with Parma.
