| Edinson Cavani |
Napoli striker Edison Cavani has hinted that a transfer to
Spain may not be his most suitable destination sounding out a potential move to
the Premier League instead.
The Uruguayan hotshot has been incessantly linked with a
move away from Serie A this summer and with a reported £53 million buy-out
clause built into his current contract, the likes of Chelsea and Manchester
City are thought to be considering bids.
Speculation is rife regarding the 26-year old attacker’s
future and a possible move to Real Madrid looked to be imminent when reports
claimed that the Bernabeu outfit had made an offer.
According to several news outlets Madrid had offered a
substantial fee plus Arsenal target Gonzalo Higuain in return for the Uruguayan.
Cavani, who is currently on duty with his country at the
Confederations Cup in Brazil, seemed unsure that Spain, would be the right
place for him.
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.”
Cavani was the top scorer in Serie A last season notching 29
goals in 34 games. His clinical finishing prowess has made him the hottest
attacking property in Europe, particularly attracting the interest of Chelsea.
Rumours circulated recently that the blues had made a £34.1
million plus Fernando Torres for the forward but it was swiftly rejected by
Napoli.
For the time being, Cavani has his eyes firmly set on the
task at hand with the Confederations Cup and he will have the opportunity to
face the likes of Spain, Mexico, Italy and Brazil among others – a chance to
further impress potential suitors.
Talking about the Confederations Cup, Cavani said: “I don’t
know if Spain are the favourites. What I know is that they are a very good
team; they are World Champions.
“For us to get on to the pitch and be part of these kinds of
games will be something to be proud of.”
