Cannavaro joins Napoli

Paolo Cannavaro has finally completed his expected transfer from Parma to hometown club Napoli.

The Azzurri had been chasing the stopper for months after it became clear that he would not be signing a new deal at the Stadio Tardini.

Cannavaro, younger brother of Juventus and Italy ace Fabio, has signed a five-year contract at the San Paolo.

The former Under-21 international defender will be unveiled to the media this afternoon at Castelvolturno.

The Cannavaro brothers both started their careers at Napoli even if Paolo played just two Serie B games for the outfit in his first spell.

He left Napoli for Parma in September 1999 and has remained ever since, even if he spent the 2001-02 campaign on loan at Verona.

Fiorentina, Lazio, Atletico Madrid, Newcastle, Tottenham en Blackburn zijn allemaal in de running voor Materazzi.

Ook Villarreal wil hem graag, maar dan wil Inter Riquelme in de deal betrekken, dat vinden die Spanjaarden wat minder...

Lopez van Genoa trouwens op het laatste moment aan de selectie van Paraguay toegevoegd, wel gaaf als Serie C1 speler.

Vorige zomer was hij al dicht bij een overgang. We kunnen iig wel zo'n type verdediger gebruiken

Bucchi rejects Fiorentina bid

Serie B Capocannoniere Cristian Bucchi confirms offers from Fiorentina and Sampdoria, but has rejected them in order to join Napoli.

“Modena have not been able to reach Serie A and our paths will therefore separate. The club wants to focus on younger players,” he explained after the play-off semi-final loss to Mantova.

The former Perugia and Cagliari striker hit the headlines with his 29 Serie B goals for the Canarini, earning him the Capocannoniere crown this season.

“I have always said that I hope to join Napoli. I’ve been requested by Fiorentina, Atalanta and Sampdoria this summer, but I told Modena that my intention is to go to the Stadio San Paolo. Compared to Napoli, all other offers disappear into the background.”

Although no official deal is in place, Bucchi looks set to spearhead the fallen giants, who have earned promotion to Serie B for next season.

“I am 29 years old and want to play in an important city like Naples. I have a basic agreement with the club and now it’s up to Modena and Napoli to reach an agreement that would clearly suit both parties.”

Bucchi isn’t the only new arrival, as they have already captured Parma defender Paolo Cannavaro – a Neapolitan born and bred who began his career in the Azzurri youth system.

There are also strong reports that Under-21 international and former Ascoli winger Pasquale Foggia, who has just signed a four-year contract with Milan, will spend the season in Naples on loan.

“Milan want to keep me and I’ll go to their summer training camp, but then I’ll evaluate my position and any possible loan spells,” he told napolimagazine.it. “To play for my home town club would be a wonderful thing and I’m happy my old teammate Maurizio Domizzi has also gone to Napoli. The San Paolo would be a dream for me.”
