According to the latest reports, Edinson Cavani has long agreed terms with Atletico Madrid and Inter were only ever an alternative for him.
The striker is a free agent with his Paris Saint-Germain contract due to expire on June 30, so can already sign for another club.
After weeks of speculation that he was coming to Inter, especially after Dries Mertens opted to extend his contract with Napoli, former teammate Ander Herrera told AS that Cavani “wants to play in Spain.”

Specialists in Inter transfer gossip fcinternews.it now suggest Cavani was never really destined for San Siro anyway, as he had signed a pre-contract agreement with Atletico Madrid months ago.
It is claimed Cavani was an option considered after the Mertens turnaround, but negotiations never really got underway.
What remains to be seen is whether Atletico Madrid are ready to deposit the existing contract or try to renegotiate the terms in a post-COVID-19 world.
The Uruguay international had agreed a two-year deal worth €10m per season.
