Edinson Cavani has set his heart on a move to Real Madrid, says father

Edinson Cavani’s father, Luis Cavani, said that his son is determined to move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. The Uruguayan striker has been a top target for several clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester City. However, his father is certain that his son will play for Madrid next season.

“Cavani’s intention is to play for Madrid,” Luis Cavani told. “He is excited about it and is very willing to see it through.

“He has told the family in private that he wants to join Real Madrid but if he declares it publicly it will annoy Napoli. There has been contact with Real Madrid’s lawyers and now we are waiting for the two clubs to meet,” he said.

“I hope it happens and that talks take place as soon as possible. Who wouldn’t want to play for Real Madrid? It’s not just up to Edi. They are talking about 65million euros and Napoli won’t negotiate for any less.”

Cavani has scored 36 goals in all competitions last season and has a release clause of £53m.
