The Daily Mail claim that City would also have to pay a transfer fee of £20 million for the 30-year-old Italian international.
The super-expensive transfer is thought to be a 'statement signing' by the club's new billionaire owners, the Abu Dhabi royal family, who shocked football by signing Robinho during the summer transfer window.
City manager Mark Hughes is believed to have endorsed the transfer - on condition Buffon proves his fitness after missing a month of Serie A action with a groin injury - and would welcome the World Cup winner into his squad.
However, last month Buffon, who currently earns £90,000-a-week at the Stadio Olimpico, dismissed City as a fantasy football club.
"Manchester City? I played fantasy football when I was young, now I only like to think about real football," he told firenzeviola.it.

His agent come out and speak liao...
"A deal doesn't exist between Manchester City and Buffon, there is nothing at all," Martina told Goal.com.
"The paper who wrote the story are dishonest, liars and they only hurt themselves.
"Manchester City have never contacted the player. Whatever has been written this morning is worse than rubbish.
"It's a disgrace and they should be ashamed of themselves. I have never spoken to anyone and Juventus have never received an offer.
"Buffon is happy at Juventus and he has a contract there.
"Even in Italy there have been plenty of reports but what can you do? Unfortunately we live in a world where this is no respect and no rules.
"The figures being written are absurd. Stupid people just write what they want, does that mean it's news?
"It's absurd to suggest these things and write. Even Manchester City had released a statement stating they haven't contacted anyone."

lol

i don even think buffon wants to leave juventus
coz if he wants to leave, he would already leave when juventus got dropped to serie B
-
That what we thought of Shevchenko as well... But time change, people change too. The more a players get older, the more he may want to earn one last big contract before he retires and never get the chance to earn this kind of money again...
Even older man like Scolari can change... for the sake of $$$ so why not a younger man?

Joe Hart is a good keeper, just buy better defenders !
