General Comments:
This profile purely consists of ‘Cavani scored yet another brace’ and ‘yet another hat-rick’ and ‘yet another goal’ for one reason: He’s class. I watched him when he was first at Palermo and honestly, you could tell he had real potential, but in all honesty I had doubts whether he’d ever really cut it here in Europe. However, he has really met his potential, and is pushing his own limits.
He is, in my opinion, one of the best strikers in the world to date. His figures are incredible for Napoli. If my maths is right then he scores every 1 and a quarter games, and that includes Champions League games also. That’s just incredible. I haven’t really seen any weaknesses in Cavani’s game, as he seems one of the best in the world to date.
Time for my transfer thoughts/information on Cavani where I can officially state that in the January window Higuain was offered to Chelsea for a cut-price, on the condition that they did not bid for Cavani which Chelsea rejected. That’s how serious the Real Madrid interest is. However, unless they can offload Higuain (which they are trying to do), then I doubt the Cavani deal will be able to take place.
With this in mind though, Cavani’s first choice is with Madrid over a move to London, and Cavani has no interest in moving to Manchester at all.
I’d personally say the move to Juventus will not happen, and I believe that he will move to Madrid once Higuain is sold. I anticipate Cavani to be the most talked about transfer saga this summer, and is certainly one to watch.
Thanks all,
