I would love to see this happen, how cool would this be?? Napoli back in Serie A please! They would immediately be a top 10 side, I am sure of that.
Cannavaro reveals Napoli contact
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real Madrid stopper Fabio Cannavaro has fuelled speculation that he could be heading to Napoli at the end of the season.
The Neapolitan has long admitted that he would like to end his career with his hometown club and a transfer is seemingly a distinct possibility. After meeting with Azzurri director general Pierpaolo Marino in Rimini recently, the San Paolo is again beckoning for the World Cup winning captain.
“I have a long contract with Real Madrid, but I often speak with Marino,” Cannavaro said from Italy’s training base this afternoon. “He knows what I want…” Marino is understandably a massive fan of the stopper and hopes to team him up with his brother Paolo in the Napoli defence next season.
However, the club official is aware that such a move could only take place if the southern giants return to Serie A. Cannavaro started his career in the Napoli youth sector, but was forced to leave after three seasons in their main squad in 1995 for financial reasons.
He joined Parma where he would win numerous honours during his seven year Tardini stay, before he was snapped up by Inter. However, his two season Nerazzurri stay was plagued by injuries and Juventus sensationally netted him in 2004 when they 'only' offered goalkeeper Fabian Carini in return to net their target.
Nevertheless, he was on the move again last summer when Juventus’ demotion to Serie B saw him follow boss Fabio Capello and teammate Emerson to Real Madrid. The 33-year-old has struggled in Spain though, which has increased the chances of seeing him accept a peninsula return in the summer.
