napoli striker set sight on real
Napoli striker Edinson Cavani will reject a move to
the Premier League and has set his heart on a
move to Real Madrid, according to his father.
The 26-year-old is one possible target for the
Spanish side as they search for a replacement for
Gonzalo Higuain.
Chelsea and Manchester City are also believed to
be tracking the Uruguayan, who scored 36 goals in
all competitions last season.
"Cavani's intention is to play for Madrid," Luis
Cavani told Futboleros. "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."
He added that representatives from Madrid had already held
talks with the player but is concerned that Napoli's valuation of
his son may prove a stumbling block.
"There has been contact with Real Madrid's lawyers and now
we are waiting for the two clubs to meet," he said.
"I hope it happens and that talks take place as soon as
possible. Who wouldn't want to play for Real Madrid?
"It's not just up to Edi. They are talking about 65million euros
and Napoli won't negotiate for any less."
