Fabio Cannavaro

Juventus fans have been protesting against the return of Fabio Cannavaro, adding another banner outside Juve's training ground at Vinovo.

According to Tuttosport, a number of tifosi were involved in erecting the banner, objecting to the stopper's return to the club.

The banner reads: 'Cannavaro abusive in Posillipo...and also at Juve'.

The statement is in relation to the player's villa near Naples, which was seized by authorities for allegedly being within breach of construction regulations, after the player had a new swimming pool, wall and fences built on the grounds.

Fans believe the stopper is also abusing his power to wriggle his way back into the Bianconeri's plans, after his Calciopoli-fuelled exit. The defender is on the verge of rejoining the Old Lady and reports have claimed he has already struck a deal with the club.

Cannavaro made a quick escape from Turin in 2006, after the Calciopoli scandal, when other players stayed to help the team back up to Serie A.

It's this issue that has annjoyed the fans the most, with many of them believing the Italy captain betrayed them.
