Fabio Cannavaro is not part of new Real Madrid boss Bernd Schuster’s plans, so Juventus and Chelsea are preparing a swoop.
Fabio Capello brought in the 2006 World and European Player of the Year, but his dismissal has forced a change of management in Madrid.
It is reported that new Coach Schuster does not want to keep hold of him after signing Christoph Metzelder from Borussia Dortmund and £19m-rated Pepe from Porto.
Newcastle United and Chelsea have made inqiuries after the 33-year-old defender, but he would prefer a return to Italy.
For some time there has been talk of Cannavaro’s Juventus comeback and former teammate David Trezeguet this weekend stated that it was a definite option.
“We spoke about it in the locker room and the door is always open to Fabio. He is still the Italy captain and one of the strongest defenders in the world,†explained Trezeguet.
