Edinson Cavani

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I don't see why people are slagging off de Laurentiis. He's simply a good businessman. You don't sell your prize asset; and if you do, you sell it for an extortionate fee.

The 26-year-old remains committed to Napoli for the time being, reiterating no departure is confirmed, but conceded a move to one of Europe's giants would be hard to refuse

Napoli striker Edinson Cavani has insisted an offer from one of Europe's top clubs would be "difficult to say no" to, with Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid all interested in securing his services.

Goal reported back in May that the Uruguay international heads up a list of summer targets at the Etihad Stadium, with City ready to spend £120 million on a number of players.

The Premier League outfit have already had an offer of £25.5 million plus Edin Dzeko rejected by the Serie A club, while Chelsea have also had a similar approach - involving Fernando Torres as a make-weight - turned away.

The 26-year-old insists he remains uncertain where he will be plying his trade next term, but admitted a move to the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid would be hard to refuse.

"In this moment I don't know [anything] about my future," he told Ovacion. "It will be difficult to say no if there will be offers of Chelsea or Real Madrid.

"I will do my 100 per cent only for the club that will show strong interest in my person. In this moment there isn't nothing concrete.

The Italian club are instead holding out until the striker's release clause of £53.7m is met - a fee president Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed City have refused to meet.

It is coming up again, now he is mentioning Chelsea

Either he should grow some fucking balls to put in a transfer request or shut the fuck up! Even Modric did it!

Basically he is saying make a bid and he will try his best to make it work for the team that is bidding(us or Madrid)

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Now if we put in a bid he will hand in a transfer request. But shame after all this time we didn't bid anything.

[Special Juan 28,143]

Still think we can get him.

[termninja 5,290]

Still think we can get him.

Dude transfer window ain't open yet and Cavani is at Confederations cup. It would have been a true miracle if we or someone else had brought him in already. First, Napoli president will be reluctant to sell because

• He doesn't have to
• Cavani is happy to stay
• He wants most money possible since Edinson is Napoli's best and most important player
• He wants to wait a bit in order to evaluate all the bids he receives since maybe some other team like PSG for example could get involved in the transfer after they sort out things at the club like Ibra's future and new manager.

Now why Cavani won't hand in a transfer request?

• Napoli fans love him
• He likes both the club and the city
• He plays Champions League
• He is the focal point in their team
• AND HE IS AT FUCKING CONFEDERATIONS CUP - Not the place to be thinking about your bloody future...perhaps he would rather finish that tournament and then actually think about his next club?

Now I just can't get my head around some posts here. Some of you act and panic like transfer window closes tomorrow and we don't have a striker at all! Just have some bloody patience...

This is the game of chess and Chelsea do play it well, or at least have played in well in the last few years.

[The Rising Sun 711]

Hey guys, i know this is a little off, and its been a while,

but has there been any official interest/quotes directly from chelsea that indicate we are going for him at all??

as far as i understand, all that happened was basic media speculation, then De Laurentes saying he is expecting a call from chelsea( if speculation is true), which did not come, and later he said there is not even any official interest from chelsea and what he has heard is all rumors from the media.

Am i missing something here apart from the Tancredis etc and their "sources"?

You aren't preaching to the converted you know, you need to read my posts in here to understand where exactly I stand.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

the situation is simple, pay the release clause then he is ours, don't pay the release clause and buy someone cheaper!

[Special Juan 28,143]

Why is all text in bold?

[Leif 6,006]

I come on here to read the latest Cavani news and the first things I see are people complaining about the fact I "change my mind" on players. Once again if you actually read my posts I never once said "only consider Cavani" and I've never once said "Drop interest in Cavani". Try and understand that this is a forum and the whole point of a forum is to discuss *opinions* which are ever-changing as new news, details and situations regarding those players are brought to light. Now to prevent me detailing this thread anymore I absolutely beg the 10's of people who continue to just complain about my posts despite almost all of them offering a proper view and opinion which is becoming rare on here due to some of the best members being driven away to put me on their ignore list.

It wasn't aimed that much towards you as much as it was to general posts I've seen here

And let's be honest and objective, you saying that you still believe we could get a certain player before transfer window has even opened is a bit pointless and dumb.

a bug on the forum, I dunno. It seems to happen after someone has used bold (like I did on my previous post)

[Special Juan 28,143]

Not at all, I have stated countless times on here and elsewhere the window is not open and people shouldn't panic. My comment was more towards those who think we cannot.

[Cosmin 2,484]

I agree with your points, Sh0n3x, except for this one:

Napoli fans love him

And this is why:

Image 1 (Cavani, leave)

Image 2 (Cavani, be fair and make us happy. Leave already!)

[termninja 5,290]

Yeah, everything in bold is definitely a bug. When someone uses bold on his posts it causes all posts on the page to become bold. I'll contact Jim about it

Not at all, I have stated countless times on here and elsewhere the window is not open and people shouldn't panic. My comment was more towards those who think we cannot.

Well I still stand by what I've said. They way you wrote it gave it a bit of a different meaning. Had you rephrased that post we wouldn't be arguing about it anyway

And this is why:
Image 1 (Cavani, leave)
Image 2 (Cavani, be fair and make us happy. Leave already!)

Surprise surprise

Well they loved him a lot until recently then But I wouldn't be surprised if that was done from the extreme fans Napoli have who expect every player to die for their club or finish his career there otherwise they stab his sorry culo

[Special Juan 28,143]

It should of been 'certain fans love him'

Been inundated with tweets worrying about Cavani. All I can tell you, same as before, the deal is pretty much sorted according to my guy.

Still might not happen but I have no reason to doubt it, regardless of what the media reckon his mum and dad have been saying!
