Canna agent: I'm talking to Juve
Monday 20 April, 2009

The agent of Azzurri skipper Fabio Cannavaro has confirmed that he is in negotiations with Juventus.

Cannavaro left Juve in the summer of 2006 after the Calciopoli scandal and signed for Real Madrid.

With his contract set to expire shortly, Canna has been linked to several Italian sides, but it seems he wants to rejoin the Old Lady.

“After the end of January I was able to start listening to offers for Fabio,” Enrico Fedele told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“But I have to stress that until a month ago no offers had arrived from Italy and the most concrete approaches were from England, France and Russia.

“Then, a month ago, Juventus asked if Fabio was still available and we began discussions after I had spoken to the player.

“Juve behaved totally correctly and approached Real Madrid first. Fabio would be very, very happy to return to the Bianconeri and would take a sizeable pay cut.

“I don't know whether Marcello Lippi encouraged Juve to make this move, I just know that we could sign a multi-year deal.

“There is still a lot to discuss, but Real have received a fax from Juventus. I think that the Turin club have a big project that demands immediate investment and they have the chance to sign an idol for free.”
