The newly promoted whites have spoken of ambitious measures for Paris Saint-Germain striker and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is expected to drop agents.
However, Cavani’s half-brother and agent, Walter Guglielmone, will have had talks with Benfica.
Uruguayan journalist Sebas Giovanelli called the first assembly as ending very definitively with a moment of discussions already underway.
According to reports, the president of the Benfica club, Luis Filipe Vieira, was in charge of negotiating with the player’s representative, before the incorporation of various directors.
The club of the Portuguese capital missed this year’s Primeira Liga trophy in Porto after winning the last six titles.
And by providing Cavani Champions League football, Benfica can beat 33-year-old Leeds.
Since receiving a promotion earlier this month, Yorkshire’s appearance has supposedly had its own discussions with Guglielmone.
Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani admits that an agreement by Ibrahimovic will be “difficult,” but he’s sure Cavani may be tempted.
The Italian told Sky Sports Italia before the week: “In addition to its quality, Cavani can contribute to his physique and adapt here, but I never talked about him with the coach.
“That said, we definitely have an idea about it and we’ll see it, given that it’s still available in a loose transfer.”
Cavani has scored two hundred goals for PSG in seven seasons at the club, an era that is expected to end after the Champions League crusade next month.
