Real Madrid defender Fabio Cannavaro may be forced to rethink his planned return to Juventus.

Juve chiefs have confirmed this week that negotiations have opened about bringing the former club captain back to the club on a Bosman in the summer.

However, before, during and after their Coppa Italia defeat to Lazio last night, Juve fans sang protest songs against Cannavaro, who is still regarded as a traitor by a section of the support over the way he quit the club after their relegation to Serie B two years ago.
