PSG made a significant investment of 64 million euros to acquire the Uruguayan striker from Napoli, causing a stir in the football world. Despite the hefty price tag, there are reports suggesting that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not keen on playing alongside Edinson Cavani, with the striker’s agent actively exploring potential moves to Real Madrid or Manchester City.
Nevertheless, PSG’s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi expressed his satisfaction with the acquisition, referring to Cavani as their “pearl.” As Cavani prepares to wear the number 9 jersey, he shared various sentiments during a recent interview:
- “I will miss Naples; it will always be my city, and I will always want to go back there.”
- “I am very motivated to learn French; this language will also serve me in my personal life.”
- “I know the Ligue 1 championship; I can’t wait to play here.”
- “I hope Leonardo recovers quickly; he has had difficult things, but football needs this kind of star,” referencing Leonardo’s departure.
- “I will give my best to bring everything I can to this team.”
- “Very happy to be here; I come with a lot of desire and I want to win a lot of things.”
- “This arrival shows that our project is still in progress; we want to become the best club in Europe.”
