Stekelenburg to replace Buffon?

There is mounting speculation in Italy if Gigi Buffon were to leave Juventus in the summer then he would be replaced by Ajax goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

Buffon is being strongly linked with a move to Roma this summer amid reports that Juventus want the Italy No 1 to accept a pay cut.

Stekelenburg is one of the names mentioned as a possible alternative, and his agent Rob Jansen admits that his client is looking for a big move.
