Real Madrid, Man City are in talks with Cavani

Napoli’s goal-scoring machine Edinson Cavani is currently in the conducting the negotiations with Real Madrid and Manchester City, according to his mother.

The 26-year-old Uruguay international, one amongst the hottest properties in world football, has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea, however it looks like the Blues will face the stiff competition from the side of Real Madrid and Man City. Free-spending City and Los Blancos are reportedly ready to trigger his £53 million release clause.

Cavani’s mother said: “Edi is dealing with Real Madrid and City. In two or three weeks, we will know their fate and be able to say more. In any case, I assure you Edinson loves Naples and, if he goes, he will never forget the love and affection of the people.”

The rumours over a proposed Cavani’s move to Real Madrid were fuelled with the news, La Liga giants are ready to include their striker Gonzalo Higuain as part of deal, in addition to a substantial transfer fee.

However the Uruguayan himself remains unsure if Real Madrid is the right place to go. He said: “I don’t know if Spanish football suits me. Football there is wonderful as everyone knows, you have more freedom, but I don’t know what will happen.”
