Milan To Make Last-Minute Cannavaro Swoop? 



There are growing rumours in both Italy and Spain, that Azzurri skipper Fabio Cannavaro could be sold to AC Milan before the end of the transfer window closes this Friday.

The 33-year-old centreback has repeated on many occasions already this summer that he has his heart set on staying at Real Madrid, but according to the latest reports a last-minute transfer cannot be ruled out.

Chelsea and Juventus both failed to make much headway in their bid to secure the services of Cannavaro, but AC Milan are said to hold the best cards despite having entered the frame late.

Real’s official line is that the World Cup winner and current World Player of the Year is not for sale, but word is that an offer in the region of 7m euro could change that stance very quickly.

I call dibs if we do take him.

He's the right age for Milan. That said, the sentimentalist in me wouldn't at all mind seeing him play for Napoli.

But if the opportunity is there to have him at Milan for a year or two? I say go for it.

So true..

Cafu Nesta Cannavaro Maldini

Imagine that line in its prime.. DEVASTATING!

I'd pull the keeper and play an extra attacker.

when he left for madrid...no one on this forum wanted him

how times have changed...

If so, we would need to release Simic and I don't sure if Kaladze will accept being 4th choice. So i don't think Milan will go for it.

Why did we have to release Å imić? He is happy at Milan on the bench, with the option that Carlo lets him play a few matches against Siena-like teams.

i dont like cannavaro.
we should buy zambrotta instead

Zambrotta should be booked for next year,..

Canna is still the world`s best defender outside Milan,...

his performances this season don't convince me,
anyway, I never really liked Canna...

I think it would be too expensive to get him now (for his age)

What Warchant said.

I'll admit that a part of my reasoning for wanting to see Cannavaro in Milan is to get him OUT of Madrid. That place does horrible things to good players and the Captain of the Azzurri deserves better.

in the end madrid won the la liga title cuz of their D

i will never judge a player's talent by how they play at real.

Because if Fabio arrives Simic would be a 5th choice and would play even less than last year.

He would be 6th choice. He's already 5th choice behind Nesta, Maldini, Kaladze and Bonera.

Carlos, Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane, Figo, McManaman, Casillas, van Nistelrooy all played well for Real in my opinion. 

He did, he slowly faded in the latter stages but when they first bought him he was on fire getting 25+ goals every season, that's not exactly bad! 83 goals in 127 appearances apparently...

ya the comments i read about how bad he supposedly is  in the end madrid won the la liga title cuz of their D. they won like all their games 1-0 and 2-1 that plus + ruud's goals and theres no doubt that he was the focal point of their D, him and ramos.

Just shows how high the expectations are at Madrid, score 2 goals every 3 games and it's still not good enough.

Carlos, Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane, Figo, McManaman, Casillas, van Nistelrooy all played well for Real in my opinion. 

I believe Simic and Bonera claim 5th place depending on the condition they are in...
