Napoli's Edinson Cavani to "consider the whole situation" next month

Napoli forward Edinson Cavani has said that he will consider his future when he returns from a family holiday next month.

The 26-year-old, who has a £54m buyout clause in his contract, has been heavily linked with a number of top European clubs, including Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Speaking after Uruguay's penalty shootout defeat to Italy in the Confederations Cup third-place playoff, Cavani told Rai TV: "Everything I say at the moment could be misunderstood, so I prefer not to talk about the future.

"I'm going on holiday with my family and then I will come back to Italy to consider the whole situation."

Cavani, who scored twice against Italy in regular time, has netted 17 goals in 54 senior international appearances.
