Edinson Cavani’s impressive series of performances in each season as a Napoli player lured the attention of top European clubs that were willing to go deep in their pockets and offload a huge amount of money in attempts of signing the Uruguayan attacker and this is exactly what happened as PSG splashed out €64.5 million and secured the services of the former Palermo player.
Unfortunately for PSG, things have not gone the way they wanted it to go as Cavani does not look like the same player he was back in Italy. Cavani is a constant starter for PSG but he just keep on being overshadow by the Swedish giant Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the main star of PSG is Ibrahimovic as the team is trying to be built around the Swedish forward who continues scoring break taking goals every single season meanwhile Edinson Cavani has had to settle with a place down the wings of the squad instead of his natural central position which is currently being filled by Ibrahimovic.
Cavani was the star of Napoli but now at PSG things just aren’t the same and there were even rumors about the Uruguayan player wanting to leave PSG and this has sparked a series of reports linking Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool with a move to Edinson Cavani.
According to the agent of Cavani, Annelucci said that his client is interested in making a move to the Premier League.
Anelucci revealed details concerning his client Cavani as he went on saying: “There was much interest in the player during the past six months. I can confirm that Cavani has heard proposals from Liverpool and Arsenal. He would love to play in England, but has not yet made a final decision. He is not interested in money and fame; he just wants to be happy playing football.”
PSG has a price tag of around £51million for Edinson Cavani and it would be surprising to see Arsenal offloading such a high amount of money to sign the Uruguayan attacker but Arsenal is a squad that has recently been shocking people around the world after they landed Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid for around £42.5 million.
Arsenal has never really been a club that spend insane amount of cash to sign specific players but times are changing and the Premier League side has shown that they are willing to splash out money to sign their desired targets but is Edinson Cavani really worth that much?
