Real Madrid consider Edinson Cavani move?

By Ben Knapton, Senior Reporter | 25 August 2020

Former Paris Saint-Germain striker and current free agent Edison Cavani is reportedly a target for La Liga champions Real Madrid ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

Real Madrid are reportedly contemplating whether or not to make a move for former Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani.

The 33-year-old was used as a bit-part player for the majority of the 2019-20 campaign with PSG, making just 14 appearances in the French top flight and scoring four goals in the curtailed season.

Cavani is now a free agent having recently seen his contract with the Ligue 1 champions expire, and the South American is expected to be a man in demand during the summer transfer window.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Real Madrid will look at bringing Cavani to the Bernabeu if they can offload out-of-favour strikers Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz.

The report claims that Cavani is keen on a move to the La Liga champions, and while the striker's proposed move to Benfica fell through over salary demands, personal terms are not expected to pose a problem for Real.

Leeds United had also been credited with an interest in the Uruguay international, but the Premier League outfit are now closing in on a deal to sign Rodrigo from Valencia.
