Foot-Mercato confirms that the Uruguayan striker has decided to sign for Atlético Madrid, after rejected several offers from clubs in the Premier League.
Edinson Cavani is a step closer to joining Atlético Madrid. The Rojiblancos are very close to reaching an agreement with PSG, and the striker has already said his goodbyes to his team mates, Foot-Mercato reports. Cavani turned down several offers from the Premier League - including one from Manchester United, for the chance to to play in LaLiga.
Cavani's final hours at PSG
Cavani bid farewell to the PSG squad yesterday and could be an Atlético player by this afternoon. He will leave as PSG's all-time top goal scorer but in recent months he has lost his place in the starting XI, and now hardly figures at all in Tuchel's plans. The coach prefers to use recent arrival Mauro Icardi in the team's big games.
Cavani, who has missed 20 games this season through injury, is now in his final hours as a PSG player. Atlético hope to close the deal for a fee of around 15 million euros.
