The agent of Gigi Buffon insists the goalkeeper is staying with Juventus.
Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta met with Buffon's agent this morning, adding yet more intrigue to the affair.
Interviewed on calciomercato.com, Martina said: "Marotta and I have known each other for 40 years, so we are always talking.
"I don't just manage Buffon at Juventus, but Davide Lanzafame also."
When asked about the media circus surrounding Buffon's absence at a team photo shoot, Martina said: "He is a very good lad and is continuing his plan of recovery in perfect harmony with the medical staff.
"His return is therefore confirmed for January. Gigi is coming off a big injury. I will go and see him this afternoon."
