  Real Madrid captain Fabio Cannavaro is close to sealing a return to Juventus after undergoing a medical at his former club on Sunday morning.

  The World Cup winner travelled to Perugia where he was subjected to around two hours of medical tests, with particular attention paid to his troublesome ankle which forced him to miss Euro 2008.

  Cannavaro refused to speak to waiting journalists before travelling back to the Spanish capital but he admitted on Saturday that the two parties are close to an agreement.

  "I know that a deal with Juve is close but it's not yet done," he told Marca.

  The Italy captain left Juve in 2006 when the Serie A giants were relegated in the wake of the match-fixing scandal.

  Cannavaro's contract at Madrid ends this summer and with the club set to appoint a new president then their hands are currently tied over offering the 35-year-old a new deal.

  Cannavaro first of TWELVE to leave Real Madrid.

   

  Fabio Cannavaro's move to Juventus is to be the first of several major names leaving Real Madrid.

  Shattered by their 6-2 humiliation by Barcelona, El Mundo Deportivo says as many as TWELVE senior players could be offloaded before the start of next season.

  Along with veteran Italian Cannavaro, Jerzy Dudek, Michel Salgado, Gabriel Heinze, Javi García, Royston Drenthe, Mahamadou Diarra, Javier Saviola and Julien Faubert will all leave.

  Also in the gun are Guti, who could quit for the Middle East and Dutch trio Wesley Sneijder, Rafael van der Vaart and Arjen Robben, who are all being linked with moves away.
