The departure of ZlatanIbrahimovic to Manchester United has opened up a new world of possibilities for EdinsonCavani who always had to settle being in the shadow of the Swedish giant.
Edinson Cavani has been complaining about in the last couple of years about the lack of playing time in a more central position.
Five-time Serial Serie A champions Juventus had the move for Nemanja Matic blocked again. Since selling their star midfielder Paul Pogba to Manchester United for a world record fee, the club has been on the neck of Chelsea FC to sign Matic as replacement.
According to reports, Chelsea would rather offer Cesc Fabregas to the Italian champions that allow Matic walk this summer.
On July 1 of 2016, Zlatan Ibrahimovic signed a yearlong contract with Manchester United as the Swedish attacker made his way out of Paris Saint-Germain and joined the Premier League outfit.
Uruguay striker Edison Cavani has signed a new contract with French club Paris Saint-Germain that will see him stay in the French capital until 2020.
There were rumors that Cavani might be leaving Paris Saint-Germain with Arsenal a reported target. However, it turns out that this was all fake news with the striker preferring to stay with the French club. Indeed, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic having left the club at the end of the season, Edison Cavani will now be considered as being the main striker for the French club, and it is difficult to see the Uruguayan international wanting to escape the limelight.
Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin says that the Spanish club could be the next destination for PSG forward Edinson Cavani, who has been very much linked with a move away from the French capital for quite a while.
The Italian national team have announced their replacement for Antonio Conte who is set to join English Premier League giant Chelsea FC this summer. Conte will assume the position after leading the Italian team to the Euro 2016 in France.
The replacement is Giampiero Ventura - a 68 year old who has bags of experience but also has fans voicing concerns as the coach has never won a major title and has spent much of his career in the lower divisions.
Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta says that the club will not be looking to sign a new striker in the summer since they are already well-stocked in this area.
Marotta was questioned about the possibility of signing Edinson Cavani from Paris St Germain. Cavani has been a transfer target for several clubs ever since joining PSG. He has been unhappy at the French outfit due to lack of importance. Despite scoring almost a goal every other game, Cavani has found itself either on the bench or playing out of position.
Edinson Cavani once again failed to commit his future to Paris St Germain and says that he does not know what the future holds for him.
The striker has two years left on his current contract, but the former Napoli striker continues to be linked with almost every top club. It is clear that he has fallen out with manager Laurent Blanc. Cavani is no longer a regular starter at PSG and this is a decline from his previous role. Earlier, Cavani used to complain about being played on the wing, as Blanc gave preference to Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the solitary striker.
PSG striker Edinson Cavani continues to be linked with a move to the Premier League even though he has played a significant role in the club’s progression in the Champions League.
The player is simply not in the plans of manager Laurent Blanc after frequently complaining about his position on the pitch. Cavani was not happy that he was straightaway seen as the second choice forward – to Zlatan Ibrahimovic – after just have arrived from Napoli for more than £ 60 million. His position at the club has never recovered from the day one.
