Ranieri said: “Buffon represents a lot for Italy. And Juventus have the good luck to already have him here.
“I need players like him, Alessandro Del Piero, Pavel Nedved and Mauro Camoranesi to help the younger elements of the squad we have here to mature.
“I hope that his [previous] admission that he is 75% sure of staying here will soon turn to 100%.”
