Leeds United fans react to shock reports linking them with Gianluigi Buffon
Leeds United could be in the hunt for another new goalkeeper this summer, with Kiko Casilla struggling to find his best form since a Janua꧑✤ry arrival from Real Madrid.
So expect plenty of names to be linked with an Elland Road switch in the weeks t✱o come.
However, it is unlikely anyone expected to see Gia𒈔nluigi Buffon’s name in the mix.
But that is exactly what has happened.
, and Leeds are join𝐆ing Brazilian side Fluminౠense and Porto in the hunt for the Italian legend.
The 41-year-old, spent last year at PSG after a glittering 𓆉17 years at Juventus. Buffon, who has 176 caps for the Italian national team is a World Cup winner and multiple Serie A champion would certainly be an eye-catching addit🐟ion for Leeds United.

But many are finding these reports hard to believe. Buffon may be aꦓ free agent, but it is unlikely he will be craving a season in the Championship at this stage o🀅f his career.
Of course, it is not outside the re🌟alms of possibility, but Leeds f🙈ans are ultimately skeptical about any deal.
Others also wonder what the value would be in signing the veteran. Some Lꦯeeds fans would like to see the club invest in younger talent rather than paying Buffon massive wages𓄧 at this point in his career.
Here is some of the best reaction to the report…

Buffon would be great to have around the club, but I wouldn’t see him making that much impact as a player. Not that I believe the rumours, but lets make sensible signi♊ngs please
