We Do Not Want Cannavaro - Ranieri


The Italian coach was reacting to continuing reports in the Italian and Spanish media that la Vecchia Signora was considering making an offer for their former player.Cannavaro, 33, has stated that he wants to continue playing in Spain, but that has not stopped the speculation as Madrid have bought two new central defenders.


Napoli were also interested and could be the Ballon D'Or winner's only hope of a return to Serie A in the future after Ranieri ruled out a bid. "Our defence is okay as it is," the Juve coach said. "We will not sign Cannavaro."Madrid have captured Christoph Metzelder on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund as well as signing Pepe from porto for €28m.Cannavaro moved to the Spanish giants last summer after Juventus were enforced to spend the season in Serie following the match-fixing scandal thta hit Italian football.


After winning the World Cup with Italy, Cannavaro won the Ballon D'Or, but failed to impress during his first campaign in Madrid, despite helping the club to their first league title in four seasons
