Edinson Cavani

[DustinC 136]

I'm reading now that Cavani won't make a decision until he returns from holiday with his family.

Lol if you think it's over.

We have paid the release clause as well several times according to sources. No reason to believe this is true.

Right. I'm going to have a hard time believing this is settled until he's up on one of the clubs sites.

Cavani has heart set on move to Mourinho's Chelsea

Edinson Cavani has set his heart on a dream move to the Premier League and wants to join Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, Goal understands.

Having fulfilled his Confederations Cup commitments with Uruguay the Napoli striker is now seeking urgent talks with the Serie A club’s owner Aurelio De Laurentiis, who is intent on receiving the player’s €63 million release clause in full.

Manchester City, Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain are all competing with Chelsea for the 26-year-old’s services, but the allure of spearheading Mourinho’s strike force at Stamford Bridge is understood to have swayed Cavani, who has spoken of his desire to play in the Premier League on a number of occasions.

"Although Edinson loves Real Madrid, he feels that his style would fit the Premier League much better, and Chelsea are the only chance he has of playing there," a source close to the player revealed to Goal.

“Edinson has already instructed Napoli that he wants to leave and is hopeful that his situation can be resolved as soon as possible.”

Both Manchester City and Real Madrid, whom Cavani claimed it would be “a dream” to play for, have refused to be drawn into a bidding war for the player while, as reported by Goal last month, Chelsea’s €40m plus Fernando Torres offer was firmly rejected.

Chelsea have remained in negotiations with Napoli, however, and will be encouraged by Cavani’s desire to become an integral part of Mourinho’s second coming at Stamford Bridge where he would be an automatic first choice start ahead of the disaffected Torres, youngster Romelu Lukaku and Rafa Benitez’s only major signing Demba Ba.

According to De Laurentiis, Real Madrid have also made a formal offer for the player who has scored 29 league goals last season, while City have cooled their interest having refused to meet the buyout clause and are actively pursuing alternative targets, including Sevilla’s Alvaro Negredo.

Paris Saint Germain’s desire to make Cavani their headline summer signing remains strong after they met with his representatives in January and on Tuesday were reported to have submitted a €50m bid.

Chelsea have paid the release clause, when ?

Not a chance.

Play Lukaku & that´s it.

Saved money = buy other players.

Exactly. But it has been reported several times, by similar sources. Just read the last 80 pages of this thread. According to most place we had signed him several times in the last month. Its all bullshit until a relieable source says otherwise.

Bye Cavani at least I can rest.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

I read a report from italy that he rejected monaco a little while back as he doesnt have an interest in french football so thy said cavani to psg is highly unlikely

Newspapers´ stories, that´s all. To deal with De L. from Napoli is like talking to some mental case.

Just forget it. Even if Chelsea´s not winning PL next season, be it. Just allow the young players to work with the team. Lukaku, Piazon, KDB, buy Bruma etc. Never mind the likes of De Rossi, too old, in my view. Van Ginkel is my choice instead.

I am all for going with Lukaku, or buying Rooney as the 2 could work really well together (In that they are 2 completely different options and it wouldn't hamper Lukaku's development).

But just saying. This is far from over.

[Rmpr 8,977]

If we dont buy Cavani (who is indeed worth the money), it will be because we didnt want to.

It is as simple as that! Mourinho and Roman would have no excitation on matching PSG's buy-out clause bid if Cavani was thought to be so indispensable as people make. I am proud we are not bowing down to De Laurentis, but if Chelsea honestly wants the Napoli striker, it only takes a phone call...

PSG wont have stolen anything from us and I wont cry if we dont get Cavani. Yes, he is an amazing player and we need a striker like him, but if we dont, we will just move on and find someone else to get the job done!

KTBFFH!

I doubt the Shrek is good for Chelsea. He wanted to play as a striker, RVP took that away from him. Therefore, discontentment & he wants out. He is bad news for any team, & Manures won´t sell him to Chelsea. Red nosed is not stupid Wenger.

If Mourinho and Roman wanted Cavani, this topic would be closed and we'd have already opened a topic in the player database thread. I don't think anything has been discussed between Chelsea and Napoli whatsoever!

Well, that's not what I see with my own eyes, especially after his storming Conf Cup participation. Besides, Cavani does NOT play as striker for Uruguay; he plays on the right wing because Suarez plays centralized. So, it depends how you define effective. For me Rooney has been absolutely terrible for country.

BTW, Uruguay are the current Copa America champions.

And it's exactly because of that that he isn't as effective as he is for Napoli - that's the point I'm trying to make. I wouldn't solely look at the international performances of a player to genuinely analyse his performances. I'd look at his club performances and to me, both players are clearly better for United and Napoli respectively.

But maybe Moyes is. Moyes often sold his best players for good money, maybe he won't stop that at ManU and tries to make his own stamp on the team by developing Youth players like he did at Everton. Fergie might still be influential and not willing to sell Rooney, but Moyes will have the final say.
