Juventus shot stopper Gianluigi Buffon has made it clear that opening contract talks with the Bianconeri is not his top priority at the moment as he prefers to focus on his performances on the pitch.
"We are not talking about a renewal right now," Buffon was quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
A recent report suggested that the Bianconeri are ready to offer the Italy international a new deal that would keep him at Juventus until the end of his playing career, but Buffon revealed that he is in no rush to open negotiations.
"The most important thing is concentrating fully on what is happening on the pitch. The rest can sort itself out after without any kind of problems whatsoever."
The 34-year-old Buffon's current contract with Juventus runs until the summer of 2013.
