Cavani to remain at PSG until end of season
According to L’Equipe, Edinson Cavani’s push for a January exit from Paris Saint Germain has been unsuccessful and the veteran striker will stay at Parc des Princes until his contract expires in June this year. It was reported on Thursday that Atletico Madrid, the main contenders for the Uruguayan’s signature, pulled out of the move due to the differences with Les Parisiens in the valuation of the 32-year-old.
While Chelsea and Man United were also said to be in the race for El Matador, he is supposedly less keen on joining them as he had set his heart on a switch to Wanda Metropolitana.
Hellas Verona announce loan signing of Federico Dimarco
