English fans are buzzing about rumours Gianluigi Buffon could join Leeds United, but there seems to be very little behind this story.
The Corriere della Sera newspaper mentioned in passing that there were several proposals from around Europe for the goalkeeper, including FC Porto – which was confirmed by agent Silvano Martina – and, among others, Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds.
This prompted sites in Britain to run with it, sparking a social media frenzy among supporters of the Championship club.

However, if Buffon is to continue playing, then Porto remain the favourites, especially as they are in the Champions League.
Other candidates include Brescia, Atalanta and his first club Parma.
