I know the world of football goes a little bit silly at this time of year but over the weekend I think I’ve now seen one of the most bizarre transfer stories of the season – Leeds United are apparently in the chase for Italian and Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon.

The bizarre claim seems to have come from the Daily Mail which should tell you all you need to know, but I honestly have no idea how they have come up with our interest in the free agent, as the only thing they quote are him talking about his spell in France with Paris Saint-Germain.

Leeds are name-checked by the Mail alongside Brazilian side Fluminese and Portuguese giants Porto and whilst I guess it’s an easy link to make given all the goalkeeper speculation we’ve seen surrounding both Kiko Casilla and Bailey Peacock-Farrell, I’d be amazed if we were going to ask a 41-year-old to adjust to our Championship campaign.

Or, given his career, take the necessary drop in wage which seems to have been conveniently ignored in the reports I’ve seen.

Gave me a good giggle anyway.
