World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro's agent revealed on Monday that talks have opened over a possible return to Juventus for the Real Madrid center-back.

Cannavaro's contract at Real is up at the end of the season and it is widely thought he will return to Italy.

He spent two years at Juve before leaving to join the Spaniards when the Old Lady of Turin were relegated to Serie B for match-fixing.

But according to Gaetano Fedele a reunion is on the cards.

"Juve have made an interesting offer, exactly what he's been looking for," said Fedele in an interview with website calciomercato.it.

"It's a good offer and it's being evaluated. Juventus' bosses could be more clear, though. This week will probably be decisive.

"Interest from a big club such as Juve can only make Fabio happy. He wants to continue his glorious career and signing for a top level club is his wish."

Fedele said that Juve's offer is not the only one, although he ruled out an emotional return to Cannavaro's former club Napoli to play alongside his brother Pablo.

"There has been interest from England, Russia and initially from Bayern Munich," he said.

"In fact there have been quite a number of offers over the last four months given that a player such as Fabio coming to the end of his contract is tempting for many.

"As for Napoli that was a soap-opera and now it's over, even if you could say that it was never really an option."
