Juventus signing Gigi Buffon has encouraged Roma and club icons Francesco Totti and Daniele de Rossi to fix their relationship.

Buffon was asked about seeing Totti and De Rossi leave Roma as he was returning to Juve.

He said, “It's disappointing. When you think of Rome and Roma, you see them represented by symbols and, in football terms, no-one can represent them more than Francesco and Daniele.

“It's clear that there are also things, which none of us know, and on the basis of them, certain decisions are taken.

“But I believe the umbilical cord, as it was also for me with Juve, will never break."
