Juventus captain Gigi Buffon admits he's been impressed by AC Milan's summer market campaign.
Buffon concedes Milan are now a genuine title threat after their spending spree, which has included prising Leonardo Bonucci away from Juve.
The goalkeeper stated: "Are they candidates for the title? Yes I think so.
"I'm looking forward to seeing a tougher championship. We will see the value of these teams who have experienced seasons of decline.
"On the sporting front, this Serie A will become more attractive."
Milan opened their campaign last night with victory at Romania's Craiova in their Europa League qualifier.
