The Italian international has been linked with a mega-money move to Eastlands but he has brushed off suggestions he will leave by claiming the reports are just rumours.
However, Amauri, who joined Juventus from Palermo this summer in a €24m move, believes the shot-stopper would be worth every penny of the possible €70m bid.
“€70m is a great sum and Gigi is worth every penny,” Amauri told Sky Sport24.
“However, Juventus need him greatly and I think we have to keep hold of him. Buffon is fine in Turin, he doesn’t need to move.”
The new Arab owners at Manchester City have sent the rumour mill into over drive as they claimed that the Citizens are prepared to spend whatever it takes for the greatest players.
Juventus paid Parma £32m for Buffon in 2001 and with the Champions League their major objective, it’s highly unlikely the will sell him for any price.
Meanwhile, the Italian goalkeeper is away with La Nazionale as they preapare for the World Cup 2010 qualifying match against Cyprus in Lanarca tomorrow night.
