But where will Edison Cavani go next season? After playing in France, the Uruguayan could well put his bags in Portugal. Benfica Lisbon wants to recruit the player, who has just left Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract, said Jorge Jesus, the new coach of the Portuguese vice-champion club on Saturday.
A three-year contract?
"The president is doing everything to make this happen," the coach said in an interview with Benfica TV station. He admitted, however, that the transfer of the 33-year-old striker was "not easy financially". Press information on the transfer of Cavani to Benfica has been circulating for several days in Portugal. On Saturday, the sports daily Record reported that the striker would be ready to commit for three years if he reached an agreement with the "Eagles" of Lisbon on the amount of his salary and his signing bonus.
Arrived in Paris in 2013 from Naples, against a sum of 63.5 million euros, Cavani saw his contract end without extension at the end of June, his career at PSG having been cut short by the coronavirus pandemic and the stop of competitions in France.
