Cobolli Gigli: I'd love Cannavaro, Zambrotta back with Juventus
February 19, 2007
Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli admits he'd like to bring Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluca Zambrotta back to the club next season.
Cannavaro has struggled at Real Madrid and has been linked with Napoli and Chelsea since the New Year. His situation is in stark contrast to Zambrotta's at Barcelona, where the fullback has settled quickly at the defending European champs.
"Cannavaro and Zambrotta remain strong in our hearts," said Cobolli Gigli. "It would make me very happy to see them again in a Juve shirt. But this will be very difficult."
The Juve supremo also admitted that Fiorentina ace Luca Toni was in their sights:
"Someone of Toni's quality is a player that we dream of signing. For now, I know that he has stated he wants to concentrate on this season's championship. We respect his professionalism."

It doesn't sound like Canna & Zambrotta burnt any bridges with the team, according to Gigli.
And he
does admit Toni was in their sights. Toni is being respectful to his team & doesn't want to talk about possible offseason tranfers, which isn't a bad idea.
Gigli also mentioned a while back that he's interested in Gilardino too, but that it would be very hard to pry him away from AC Milan.
Anyways, it's encouraging to hear that Juve intends to make so signings to really improve the team (mainly defense). There's no way we can get ALL of these guys, but a select few could make a huge difference.
