Edinson Cavani’s mother has claimed that her son favours a move to Spain this summer (end of June) as the striker prepares to leave PSG on a free transfer. Chelsea and Manchester United suffer a blow in Cavani’s pursuit.

Atletico Madrid were strongly linked with the South American during the January transfer window and are still believed to hold an interest ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

Cavani is PSG’s all-time leading goalscorer with 200 goals in 301 appearances in all competitions, including 7 strikes in 22 games during the 2019-20 season.

One of the best of Goalhangers!:grinning: His logic was simple, get as close as you possibly can to goal and poke it in.

Most of Van Nistelrooy’s goals for Manchester United were the result of Ryan Giggs or David Beckham getting the ball as close as possible for him. It hardly seemed to matter where Van Nistelrooy was at the time they played the cross, or how many defenders were around him. If they put it there, he would get to it first.​
