At the end of the contract next June with Paris Saint-Germain, the Uruguayan striker will soon be free. Author of seven goals and three assists in 22 appearances in all competitions this season, “El Matador” is announced in the viewfinder of many clubs, such as Atlético de Madrid (Spain), Boca Juniors (Argentina) or São Paulo FC (Brazil). The last club cited seemed indeed very interested in the 33 year old player. But this Wednesday, São Paulo CFO Elias Barquete Albarello put an end to this rumor in the radio program Transamerica.
“We can’t do it (the transfer) now. There are of course not the resources to deal with what we are facing (the coronavirus pandemic). It would be irresponsible to conclude a transfer of this caliber, given the figures that this would imply. We can no longer work this way. It is also because we have a budget approved by the board of directors and the deliberative council, and that this budget must be respected. To answer objectively: understand that this is not part of our plans, at least for the next few months ”, released the leader in words relayed by Globoesporte. So we shouldn’t see Edinson Cavani wearing the Tricolor Paulista jersey.
