DBasia.news – Boca Juniors is aiming for Edinson Cavani as their main target in the transfer window next summer. The Argentine giant believes Cavani will be interested in joining him.
Cavani, who is currently owned by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), will be free of charge at the end of the season. Big European clubs will certainly line up to get his sign.
But that did not make Boca tremble. The club which was once strengthened by Diego Maradona has prepared a special plan to get Cavani’s signature.
“Knowing the close relationship between Riquelme and Diego Forlan (Cavani compatriot), and Cavani’s condition, hopefully it (recruitment) can happen soon,” Boca Sports Director Jorge Bermudez told Radio Cooperativa.
“He will really help the team. If he comes, it is because of his own desires and the signings are clear,”
Cavani is going through hard times with PSG at the moment. In this season he has lost his place in the main squad.
PSG coach Thomas Tuchel preferred to rely on Neymar and Kylian Mbappe on the front lines. Mauro Icardi’s presence further reduced his playing minutes.
In addition, Cavani’s performance was also disrupted due to a number of injuries he suffered. Practically the 33 years old striker has only played 22 times and scored 7 goals.
Cavani almost left PSG in January. Atletico Madrid negotiated even though an agreement was not reached until the transfer window was closed.
