Gigi Buffon is backing Juventus' move for Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
The Italian champions hope to bring in Szczesny as a long-term successor to their No.1 of over 15 years and are in advanced talks with Arsenal over a £14million deal.
“This could be the last year and I would like to be a protagonist, as I have always dreamed of being," Buffon told reporters. “To do that, I have to be important. I will work for this next year."
“I've always been a rational person and I've always looked for the meaning of things. It's right that Juve want Szczesny and that there is a good player like [18-year-old AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi] Donnarumma at the national team.
“For me, it will be a great motivation twice because, although I am 39-40 years, I have to maintain my place. If I no longer want to play, I'll stay at home because Donnarumma and Szczesny are good goalkeepers by merit, not because someone gave them something."
