Fabio Cannavaro has revealed he came within a whisker of joining Chelsea - before choosing Real Madrid instead.
Speaking to The Telegraph, the 48-year-old explained: "I was close to signing when I was at Juventus [in 2006].
“A friend of mine called me and asked me if I would go to Chelsea and I knew they were interested.
"But in the end I moved to Madrid and of course Fabio Capello was there."
