According to Tuttosport, the Juve leadership are about
to contact the Azzurri captain
The Old Lady's management seem to be working hard towards building
up a forceful squad in view of next season.
After having significantly strengthened the midfield department
with the arrivals of Tiago and Almiron, Juventus are now eager to
do the same with the defence.
The name that has been mentioned (again) is that of Fabio
Cannavaro. Jean-Claude Blanc and Alessio Secco are set to give the
2006 golden ball winner a call and discuss a possible return to
Turin.
Despite his age, Cannavaro could still be deemed as an advantageous
signing, as the defender is still in great shape and form.
However, there seems to be a problem. Cannavaros wage at Real
Madrid equals to 4.5 million euros, a sum that Juve cant afford to
give to the veteran defender.
This may complicate his return to the Serie A and now it depends on
his agent, Enrico Fedele, who will take care of the issue.
Fabio Capello's future at the Bernabeu will also play a part, with
Cannavaro likelier to return to Italy if Don Fabio is sent packing
by Ramon Calderon.
