Chelsea transfer target Edinson Cavani admits he could move to Atletico Madrid

1/13

Chelsea transfer target Edinson Cavani has admitted he could move to Atletico Madrid this summer after revealing the Spanish club are interested in signing him.

Cavani's long-term future at Paris Saint-Germain has been called into question in recent months despite the striker having two more years left on his current deal with the French champions.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus have all been reported to be keen on signing the 29-year-old, but Cavani's agent Claudio Anellucci said recently he expects his client to stay at PSG, with the forward likely to get more game time next season following the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

However, Cavani has revealed there is a chance he could leave the Parc des Princes for this season's Champions League finalists, although he refused to elaborate too much on Atletico's interest in him.

"It's a really competitive team that has demonstrated interest in me and that pleases me, you never know if things could go further," Cavani said.

"Football is always changing and you never know.

"Right now I'm a PSG player and I have to respect that; it would be improper to speak more about it."

Cavani was recently urged to join Atletico by his Uruguay teammate Diego Godin, who revealed he had spoken with the PSG forward about moving to the Vicente Calderon this summer.

"He [Cavani] loves the club, he loves Atletico Madrid," Godin said.

"He loves the way we play because it's very similar to how we play with the national team and how we understand football in Uruguay."

And Cavani admitted Godin continues to keep in touch with him about all matters, including life with Diego Simeone's side.

"We're all friends in the team and Diego is in contact with everybody, being the captain," Cavani added.
