Iniesta, now playing for J1League outfit Vissel Kobe, celebrated his 36th birthday on Monday.
The former Spain international left Barcelona in 2018 after a trophy-laden stint with the LaLiga giants.
Cannavaro, who won two LaLiga titles as a Real Madrid player, said he always had eyes on Iniesta, widely regarded as one of the best midfielders of all-time.
“He played with such style, you couldn’t help but love him when you saw him play,” the Italian told AS.
“He was a perfect professional, very humble … I loved him.
“Everybody might have been watching Messi but I was watching Iniesta.”
