Many clubs are keen on the veteran.
But it seems that he has his heart set on Atletico.
Edinson Cavani‘s mother has accused Paris Saint-Germain of “not behaving well” and outlined her son’s desire to join Atletico Madrid. The Uruguay international is PSG’s record goalscorer but is expected to leave the Parc des Princes either in January or at the end of the season when his contract expires.
Atletico Madrid have been repeatedly linked with the 32-year-old and he is keen to try his luck in La Liga. His mother Berta Gomez told Spanish newspaper AS: “There is an open negotiation. PSG have rejected three proposals from Atletico but my son has asked to leave and we are waiting for an agreement to be reached by both clubs.
Leonardo, PSG sport director: “Edinson Cavani has asked to leave this month but we’ve refused Atletico Madrid bid. Kurzawa? At the moment we’re not in talks with Arsenal”. ?? #PSG #AFC #Atleti

“It’s complicated but he wants to play at Atletico, if not now, then in the summer. We have been wishing it for years but it does not now depend on my son but on PSG and Atletico.” Berta added: “They are not behaving well with him, [especially] with everything he has given to PSG in the near seven years he has been there.”
“If you don’t use him, let him go to a club that needs your goals like Atletico Madrid.” Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham have also been linked with Cavani, who has been restricted to just nine Ligue 1 appearances this term due to injuries and the form of Mauro Icardi.
PSG are believed to be reluctant to sanction Cavani’s departure as they continue to chase a maiden Champions League crown. Cavani has not played since coming on as a late substitute in PSG’s 3-3 draw with Monaco on January 12 with the club citing a groin injury.
