Edinson Cavani says Benfica is a “great team” after confirming talks with the Portuguese giants, but stresses that an agreement has still been reached.
The Uruguayan striker is a loose agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season and has been connected with many clubs in Europe and America.
Leeds United were thought to be Benfica’s main rival in the 33-year-old race, and owner Andrea Radrizzani previously revealed that he sought to point to the veteran striker as he planned the return of the whites to the Premier League. .
Spanish club Atlético de Madrid, as well as Argentina, Brazil and the United States, are also interested in former Napoli leader.
Last month’s reports reported that a two-year agreement had already been reached with Benfica, the Portuguese giants took the unusual step of publicly denying the data on their official website.
New reports over the weekend that new talks have been established between the two sides, which Cavani has now shown to journalists when asked about his future.
“There have been meetings with Benfica and other clubs. But nothing is explained yet, so I say there’s a closed agreement. When everything is shown with a team, they will know,” he said.
Under pressure from Benfica, Cavani replied that it was “a wonderful team” participating in European competitions and that “many Uruguayans” have represented the club in the past.
“How can I be a team that appeals to me? And if I have a chance to play there, I’ll be extremely happy with life,” he added.
Since leaving PSG at the end of June, Cavani has spent most of his time in Salto, Uruguay.
He worked with non-public teacher Christian Gonzalez to continue to have compatibility over the summer, and Gonzalez posted a message of good luck on Instagram before Cavani returned to Europe.
“Very successful, intelligent journey, thank you for the opportunity and trust. An exclusive experience, to keep shining “Matador, ” he said.
