Real Madrid defender Fabio Cannavaro admits he would "happily return" to Juventus.

"I respect Real greatly, but it could be that my future doesn't lie here," Cannavaro told Tuttosport. "However, I don't want to cause any problems at the Bernabeu at such a crucial point in the season.

"I know there has been contact with Juventus, but I am going to let my agent deal with that. I prefer not to meddle in negotiations.

"I have an agreement with Enrico that once everything is sorted he will call me and I will sign.

"Everyone knows that I would happily return to Juve where I spent two great seasons and won Scudetti that nobody can take away from me.

"But I don't live on the moon, I know that people expected me to stay at Real and I know what kind of reservations the fans may have over me.

"I have explained my decision to leave 1000 times and I am ready to do it again. I am not worried because I will talk to the supporters."
