PSG’s Uruguayan all time goalscorer Edinson Cavani has agreed to switch to Spanish side Atletico Madrid at the end of the season according to renowned Italian journalist Di Marzio.
It appears that Atletico coach Diego Simeone will soon be adding more firepower to his stuttering striking line with Sky Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio confirming that PSG striker Edinson Cavani and Atlético Madrid have agreed terms which will see the Uruguayan move to Madrid on a three year deal.
At yet, it’s not confirmed when the striker will join the LaLiga side. He will be a free agent come June 30th (2020) and there is speculation that he could bring forward his start to life at Atleti with the Spanish paying a symbolic quantity to bring the move forward.
Cavani has found the net in every league he has played in with impressive striking statistics with Italian sides Palermo and Napoli before his move to Paris. The Uruguayan has found the back of the net 387 times in his 661 career matches. With the likes of Mauro Icardi, Neymar Junior and Kylian Mbappé offering stern competition for a place at PSG, the 32-year-old Uruguayan has been granted less and less playing time under German boss Thomas Tuchel.
Atleti currently boast a striking arsenal of Morata, Diego Costa, João Félix, Correa and Saponjic but it’s understood that at least one of these will exit to accommodate the arrival of the Uruguayan.
In the meantime he remains focused on helping his current side PSG to a long-awaited UEFA Champions League win when the top tier UEFA club competition resumes action by February 2020 with the French Champions drawn with German side Borussia Dortmund.
