Fabio Cannavaro insists that he would be prepared to extend his contract with Real Madrid.
The Italy international has only one more year left to run on his current deal with the Primera Liga champions, sparking rumours that he would head back to his homeland next summer.
However, the 35-year-old World Cup-winning captain maintains that he has no desire to leave Spain and would welcome talks regarding a new deal.
"Of course without any problem," he told El Mundo.
"Before talking to another team we will talk to Real.
"Here before matches there is laughter, music and joy.
"If you smile in Italy you run the risk of being accused of not being ready for the match."
Cannavaro also admitted that he has no plans to retire from international football.
"It would take a lot for me to say no to Italy," he said.
The veteran centre-half returned to training this week following the ankle surgery he underwent in June to resolve an injury he picked up prior to Euro 2008.
He missed his country's European Championship campaign as a result and revealed at the time that the disappointment of sitting out a major tournament made him even more determined to feature at the World Cup finals in 2010.
