Buffon: My future is with Juventus

May 14, 2012 11:19:00 AM

The experienced goalkeeper has insisted that he has no intention to leave the Bianconeri, and feels the 2011-12 campaign was one of his best-ever performances

Gianluigi Buffon has stressed that he will not leave Juventus, and added that he expects to sign a contract extension in the near future.

The 34-year-old's current deal is due to expire in the summer of 2013, but Buffon does not expect any problems during negotiations for a new contract.

"My future? There won't be any problems with my contract renewal. Everybody knows that I want to stay here. Black and white are my colours," Buffon was quoted as saying on the club's official website.

The Italy international then reflected on his individual performances this term, and stated that the 2011-12 season was one of his best campaigns ever, although he could not help but highlight one glaring error.

"Unfortunately, I made that mistake against Lecce. Without that error, this would have been my best season ever. I can compare it to the 2002-03 championship, when we got through to the Champions League final."

Buffon kept 21 clean sheets in 35 Serie A appearances this season.
