Manchester City and Real Madrid have opened talks
over Edinson Cavani — the striker’s MUM last night revealed.
But City’s hopes of sealing a deal for the
£54million goal machine took a dent when the star’s DAD claimed he will
pick Real.
Cavani, 26, who was top scorer in Serie A last
term with 29 goals, is one of European football’s hottest properties.
Chelsea were also linked to the Uruguay
international but only City and Real have tabled firm bids.
Cavani’s mother Berta Gomez told a Montevideo
radio station: “Edi is in talks with Manchester City and Real Madrid.
“Napoli’s president Aurelio De Laurentiis has
spoken about the possibility of discussions with Chelsea but there is nothing
definite with them at the moment.
“We will know more in 15 to 20 days. There are so
many voices, and when something happens I will be the first to know.
“But Edi loves Napoli and, if he has to leave, he
will never forget the love and warmth he has had from the fans. He and Naples
will remain united for ever.”
But his dad Luis Cavani added: “His intention is
to play for Madrid.
“He is excited about it and is very willing to
see it through.
“He has told the family in private that he wants
to join Real Madrid but if he declares it publicly it will annoy Napoli.
“I hope it happens and that talks take place as
soon as possible. Who wouldn’t want to play for Real Madrid?”
