City not interested in Buffon - Mancini

Manchester City will "never" make a move to sign Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, according to coach Roberto Mancini. The Italy international was a City target last year, but Mancini believes his team has the goalkeeper position covered by the talented Joe Hart. Mancini told Turin-based sports newspaper Tuttosport: "The way I see it is that Buffon remains one of the best goalkeepers in the world. "But we have decided for some time to point on Hart, who is a young player with enormous potential. We believe so much in him to the point of having sacrificed a great number one like (Shay) Given. "Hence, I can categorically say that we will never make any offers for Buffon."
