Cavani 鈥榮taying put鈥 at PSG despite transfer speculation
Print Edition
PARIS Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani yesterday claimed that he would not be leaving the French champion this summer, despite ongoing speculation about his future.
“I am staying, why would I not?” said the 27-year-old Uruguay star, who only joined PSG a year ago in a Ligue 1 record deal from Napoli worth 64 million euros (US$85.6 million).
“I am very happy in Paris and I have a contract with PSG to respect,” added Cavani, who was speaking in Beijing, where his club is due to face Guingamp tomorrow in the Champions Trophy, the French season-opener between the champion and the Cup holder.
“I feel good here. But as I have already said, it does not only depend on the position of the player but also on certain things that can happen inside a club.”
Cavani scored 16 league goals in his debut Ligue 1 season but his campaign was hindered by injury and he was unhappy at not being able to play through the middle of the attack because of the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Clubs in England have been linked with the player, but PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi has said Cavani is not for sale, despite needing to make sure his side fall into line with the demands of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules.
PSG, which has been ousted from the Champions League in the quarterfinals the last two seasons, has made two summer signings — Brazil defender David Luiz from Chelsea and Toulouse full-back Serge Aurier on loan.
