Sky
sources are reporting that Edinson Cavani has instructed his agent to
investigate a potential move to the Premier League.
The 27-year-old Uruguay international joined Paris Saint-Germain from Napoli
for around £55m last summer and signed a five-year contract, but now appears
keen on a move away from the French capital.
And the news will be of particular interest to Chelsea and Manchester
United, who have both been linked with the forward.
Cavani enjoyed a successful first season with PSG, who retained the Ligue 1
title and also won the Coupe de la Ligue, with Cavani scoring both goals in
the final.
But the Uruguayan is reportedly unhappy about the way he is utilized by the
club, who often deploy him in wide positions so the prolific Zlatan
Ibrahimovic can play through the middle.
And, while he was at the World Cup in Brazil, Cavani refused to rule out a
transfer to Manchester United.
Asked whether a move to Old Trafford was in his future, he said: “In
football, you never know. Anything can happen.
"One day you are in one team and, the next day, you can be in another."
Cavani has been capped 63 times by Uruguay and featured in all of their
matches at the World Cup this summer, where they reached the second round
before losing 2-0 to Colombia.
Having begun his professional career with Danubio in Montevideo, he joined
Palermo in Italy in 2010, before beginning a very successful stint with
Napoli in 2010.
He finished the 2012/13 season as the top scorer in Serie A and became the
most expensive signing in French football history when he joined PSG.
