There are mixed reports over the outcome of a Juventus summit with Edinson Cavani, as Atletico Madrid call PSG.
It is well known that the former Napoli striker is a prime transfer target for the summer, especially with club coffers buoyed by reaching the Champions League Final.
According to Calciomercato.com, Juve have already agreed terms to keep Cavani on the current €7.5m wages he earns at Paris Saint-Germain.
This would involve an accounting trick to spread the real cost over bonuses, which do not count on the wage bill.
There are mixed reports over the outcome of a Juventus summit with Edinson Cavani, as Atletico Madrid call PSG.
It is well known that the former Napoli striker is a prime transfer target for the summer, especially with club coffers buoyed by reaching the Champions League Final.
According to Calciomercato.com, Juve have already agreed terms to keep Cavani on the current €7.5m wages he earns at Paris Saint-Germain.
This would involve an accounting trick to spread the real cost over bonuses, which do not count on the wage bill.
The Juve wage cap is €5m per season and Carlos Tevez is the highest paid player on €4.5m.
It’s claimed the club would give Cavani a signing-on fee worth €17.5m, which would make up the difference in a lower official wage.
However, Sport Mediaset warn that agreeing terms with the Uruguay international is not enough, as Atletico Madrid are lobbying with PSG to sign the player.
There is the risk of a bidding war, so Juve reportedly set a 10-day deadline for Cavani to accept or they’ll find an alternative.
