Reports coming out of Italy suggest that the Italian - who had left Turin on loan after seeing little action under Capello - is looking to start afresh with the Bianconeri upon their imminent return to Serie A next season.
While he has seen a lot more action in Spain than in Italy, he has never had a very lengthy spell under Manuel Pellegrini, and the Villarreal coach's renewal at El Madrigal has helped him make his mind up.
He still thinks of Turin - where he spent a full 11 years since joining from Atalanta in 1994 - as his home, and is reportedly looking forward to playing a role as the Bianconeri vie to reclaim their stature in top flight football next season.
He will be 32 in the summer, and it would also give him an opportunity to finish his career defending the black-and-white colours.
