Cannavaro Adds Fuel To Napoli Transfer Fire
Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro has revealed that he will consider his Real Madrid future in the January transfer window.
Cannavaro was full of praise for his former team, whose good start to the Serie A season has seen them reach fifth place going into the winter break.
The player denied having spoken to anyone at the Partenopei about a move, but he admitted that a transfer away from Madrid in the near future was a possibility.
“In early January we'll assess the intentions of Real Madrid, and then act accordingly, even considering bids from other clubs,” he told Corriere dello Sport.
Cannavaro continued, “Pierpaolo Marino and I sat down together, but we didn't talk about football. The club has focused on young people, and the results are good, even if the team is proving to have some problems lately away from home, while at the San Paolo they are doing extraordinary things.”
Finally the defender gave his two cents regarding the burning question in the South of Italy. “Can they reach the Champions League? Perhaps,” concluded the former Juventus defender.
