Edinson Cavani's transfer saga finally comes to an end
The Edinson Cavani saga has been one of the biggest talking points of the winter transfer period, which closed on Friday, January 31. It is true that there may be some last-minute movements, but it seems that the deal is already done. As for the Uruguayan, he will remain at PSG until the end of the season, when his current contract expires.
Atletico Madrid's pursuit of Cavani put on hold
Atletico Madrid has gone all out to incorporate the former killer of Napoli into their ranks. With Diego Costa injured, the red and white team was eager to bring Cavani (32 years old) to the Wanda Metropolitano, to play up front alongside Alvaro Morata and João Félix. However, the Atletico fans will have to wait to see the Salto native in the Spanish capital.
Several players set to leave PSG this summer
According to a report by As, several players will end their contracts with PSG in the summer of 2020. The most notable, of course, is Cavani himself, but we must not overlook other professionals such as Thiago Silva, Thomas Meunier, Layvin Kurzawa, Adil Aouchiche, Tanguy Kouassi, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
Thiago Silva and Cavani's future in doubt
Thiago Silva is not expected to continue in Paris as Leonardo Nascimento de Araújo, PSG's sporting director, intends to rejuvenate Thomas Tuchel's squad. As for Cavani, he has made it clear that his intention is to leave in order to get the minutes he is currently lacking at the reigning Ligue 1 champions. Therefore, Atletico Madrid will be keeping a close eye on the sensational forward.
