Cannavaro



Cannavaro's contract with the Spaniards runs out at the end of June and he has signed a one-year deal with the Old Lady of Turin.



The 35-year-old was world player of the year in 2006, after leading Italy to World Cup glory that same year.

That was also the summer he left Juventus, where he had played for two seasons, to join Real after the Italians were relegated to Serie B for match-fixing.

His move angered many fans and when his possible return to the club was first mooted it received mixed reactions from Juve fans, some of whom have not forgiven him for deserting them in 2006.
