Real Madrid president: I don't want Cannavaro to leave

tribalfooball.com - April 23, 2007

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has declared he wants Fabio Cannavaro to stay next season.

Cannavaro has been linked with a return to Italy and Calderon says: "I do not know if he will be here or not next season, it is a decision for the coaches. But in my way of thinking, to see him leave would be a pain. He is now becoming acclimatised and next season he will be far better. I would like that he remains."

Asked about Raul's situation, Calderon added: "He is a symbol. Not only by the titles he's won, but because he represents the values that have made this club great: he fights, is committed and has tenacity. He can do what he wants, leave if therefore he wishes to or remain. He has gained that opportunity because there have been few players as important as he."
