Paris-Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani is considered to be the new replacement at the royal club of Madrid. The club is reportedly considering this possible move form PSG as they are seeking to replace the greatest footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and his goals for the upcoming season.
Ronaldo left Real Madrid so he can join Juventus earlier this summer. After the exit of Madrid’s all-time top goalscorer, Los Blancos have yet to sign a big-name replacement that is a bit tough. As a possible option according to Marco Ruiz of AS, the Uruguay international star is being considered for a possible option.
Ruiz added that Cavani is not likely to agitate for it, because he is already a popular man at the Parc des Princes. He may want to move in the Spanish capital and PSG reportedly will be willing to sell Cavani for 89 millions of Pounds. He was one of the deadliest players last season in European football.
During the summer Real Madrid have issued statements denying they want to sign both Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, so the links to Cavani mean that Madrid has been rumored to go for this PSG trio. Reportedly Cavani is the most likely to make the way out of the three players. Colin Millar, Spanish journalist believes that this would be the most reasonable deal that actually makes sense. PSG might be open to cashing in. Even though Cavani is not in Ronaldo’s caliber he is also a poacher in the penalty area. He would get plenty of opportunities with the likes of Gareth Bale, Isco, and Marco Asensio. The only big issue for Cavani is that he can be profligate occasionally in front of the goal, especially compared to someone like Ronaldo.
Regardless of who they purchase for Los Blancos, it’s impossible to replace Ronaldo in this window, but the sign of Cavani may represent a decent short-term option to ensure that the goals will keep flowing in the Spanish capital.
