The soap opera Edinson Cavani should end very quickly. In recent weeks, Atlético de Madrid have launched numerous offensives to entice the Uruguayan striker into his nets. The Colchoneros wanted to take advantage of this contract, which expires in six months, to strengthen their workforce at a lower cost from this January. El Matador is won over. However, Paris Saint-Germain has no intention of letting it go for free now, and the Rojiblancos’ means this winter are quite limited.
The Colchoneros therefore got used to the idea that it would not be possible to see it land in January, and began to look to new tracks. Paco Alcacer and Cédric Bakambu have been announced as potential reinforcements for the Spanish capital’s club for this winter. But the Madrid leadership has, at the same time, continued to work on the Cavani file. Obviously successful.
A two-year contract awaits him
According to information from Sky Italia, it is done. Edinson Cavani will be playing for Atlético de Madrid next summer, once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain has ended. He will commit for two seasons with the team coached by Cholo Simeone, after spending seven years in Paris. The Colchoneros will still try a last standout to bring him in earlier, but that looks practically impossible today for the reasons mentioned above.
An operation which will raise many questions. On the Paris side already, since it will inevitably be necessary to find him a replacement this summer, when the future of other players in the offensive line is also very vague. It will also be necessary to see if Atlético de Madrid will always seek to hire an attacker this winter knowing that Cavani will disembark this summer. Until they have answers to these questions, Parisian fans will be able to prepare goodbyes to the top scorer in the history of their club.
