Maybe buy somebody who isn't a Number 9 to play on the right Laughing

Seriously, Cavani must be itching to escape

yes, the 10 millions euros net, free of taxes that he is getting every year now really must be itching.

from the club perspective, there is no reason to sell, cavani is super professional and always do perform.

From a footballing standpoint yes, obviously money is the priority but let's not pretend that if he moves from PSG he'll be earning £300 a week.

Funny you should say that Tom, that was going to be Marotta's opening offer at the contract table.

by Onyx Fri May 23, 2014 3:02 pm

PSG probably don't want to sell him, but I'm sure Cavani isn't completely happy at PSG and he'd jump at the chance to join a club who would play him centrally.

In terms of top clubs, maybe Barca, if they decide to play the 4-3-3 with Messi behind Cavani and the RB providing width. Maybe even Liverpool if Suarez leaves. Arsenal/Juventus might surprisingly somehow get enough money to buy him too.

The thing about the way PSG play is that with Ibra dropping so deep in midfield to playmake, Cavani if he is patient, will find more and more space in the middle to make his runs and to score.

It would be unproductive for PSG to sell Cavani and sign a right winger that will provide a jump on quality and be a go to guy. However Cavani ended his season, the beginnings were very good, so if they go back to that, it will be ok.

this is a case where keeping a player is much better than selling him and looking to replace him, especially for the reasons i posted above about Ibra's durability. And it's not like there are elite right wingers running the streets.

Malaga goalkeeper Willy Caballero has stated that he is honoured and proud to have been linked with a summer move to Barcelona.

The Argentinian has been linked with a switch to the Nou Camp as Barcelona look to bolster their ranks after the departures of Victor Valdes and Jose Manuel Pinto.

After signing Marc-Andre ter Stegen from Borussia Monchengladbach this week, Barcelona want an experienced keeper and Caballero is reported to be their main target after an impressive campaign with Malaga.

"I do not know if what they say will come true, but it is an honour and makes me proud," the 32 year old told Cadena Ser.

"At the moment though there has been no contact.

"If [Barcelona] were to call, however, I would have to think about it.

"We would have to see, of course, if Malaga have any intention of selling me."

After three years at Boca Juniors, Caballero moved to Spain in 2004 and joined Elche where he stayed until 2011 when he signed for Malaga.

Conte's primary objective is to sign Sanchez for Juventus so they can play 4-3-3, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. However they may not be able to sign him due to him costing over €20m and may have to sell someone to buy him.

Other options are Nani, Candreva and Cuadrado. They are also choosing between Eto'o and Drogba, however Conte prefers someone younger like Morata.

I think Rooney and RVP would choke Gervinho few times a game.
