Edinson Cavani

[Special Juan 27,103]

I hope the club are doing everything possible to get this bloke here. I said we would win the PL with Jose, with this guy as well we can do a lot more.

[Fernando 6,376]

I think the club want Torres to stay, although now is the time to sell him

I don't see us having torres and cavani at the same time.

“The budget for the transfer market will be based in relation to the Financial Fair Play rules,” said De Laurentiis.

“If Cavani is sold then I’ll reinvest all of the 63 million euros of his rescission clause.

“There is interest from Chelsea in Cavani, they’ll call me in the next few hours.

“I’ll be delighted if he stays, but if he leaves then he will be adequately replaced.”

De Laurentiis also considered Napoli’s plans for players to bring in over the summer.

“At the moment the priorities are in defence given the departure of Hugo Campagnaro [free transfer to Inter] and the change in system.

“Benitez’s formation will also require a midfielder, so we are looking for an important figure in the middle.

“We also require another right sided second striker. We are closing in on someone in this area, but I can’t say anything more in order to avoid the asking price going up.

“We’ll also consider a goalkeeper, but not to replace Morgan De Sanctis. We’re in talks with a youngster to be our second choice.”

Juan Zuniga has been linked with Inter and Juventus recently, but the President was clear.

“Zuniga will stay at Napoli. I won’t sell him – not even for 25m.”

Discussion recently has been on De Laurentiis’ plans to buy a second club, perhaps in England.

“My idea for the English club is to start from a lower league, I want to export the Napoli model in four nations – Italy, USA, England and Brazil.

“I want to do that in the next six years.”

So far nothing on Benitez wanting Torres.

he's trying for an auction... I hope Roman is smart enough not to fall for it and if we sign him, we do it for a reasonable price. 63M isn't it.

He's one of the best strikers in world football, you have to expect to pay huge money if you want that. The only way someone would come cheaper is if their contract is nigh on run down.

It's not a matter of 'falling for it' it's a matter of do we want one of the best.

[The Skipper 20,593]

I really want Cavani but I can't see the club paying his release clause... Hopefully they can persuade Napoli with a £35m + Torres offer and convince Torres to take a wage cut. It's the furthest I'd probably go.

Kun has signed an extension at city, wonder how that affects their interest in cavani

it feels overpriced though... and we need more guys than just a striker.

[ulsterchelsea 3,213]

Why do people keep talking about how we probably wont pay the 63 mill euros for him? We paid 50 for torres, its about the same converted now isn't it? Roman will pay whats necessary if he/Jose/the board wants the player enough

[iceboy 992]

All what we need is Roman to call them.

let's not talk about that... the only worse deal in football history is RM's bid for Kaká.

But maybe you guys are right and he has like 100M to spend. I only worry about spending too much in one player when we also need reinforcements in other positions like CB and DM.

[Hutcho 8,443]

45 mil + torres.

[Special Juan 27,103]

Believe me it isn't over priced, he's every bit his release clause IMO....we will address other areas I'm sure of that.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

I wouldn't rule out the fee being paid, 63m euros., I said with Torres to myself, no chance we will pay 50m. fucking did. DO NOT rule it out. Something tell me if its a part ex. it could well involve Marin, Romeu etc.

[Hutcho 8,443]

If we don't get him, then i think we should get somonne like rooney. He is not on Cavani's level but we need someone.

[drog.ba 239]

I don't see us having torres and cavani at the same time.

yeah, we had Drogba and Shevchenko/Crespo together though

[Special Juan 27,103]

So lets look at the big picture....We spend 50M on Cavani, 10M on De Rossi and 20M on Schurlle, plus bring back KDB, Essien and Lukaku....

Now we ain't looking bad are we?

Takes FM hat off.....even though I don't play it.

[mediator 2,026]

62 + Torres

[Pizy 17,860]

62 + Torres

Is Torres really worth €1m though?

We'll pay full price and the cost of the plane ticket to get him there. Shit, we'll pay for his medical too.
