Inter started the season in poor form, but a run of consistent results has moved Andrea Stramaccioni's side into fourth spot in the table.
"Inter have opted for a younger approach and I believe that's the right way of going about things. If they manage to gain consistency they could be a threat all the way," Buffon told reporters.
Juventus currently top Serie A with 19 points.
