Villarreal has said yes to the veteran Uruguayan striker and is waiting to find a destination for Alcácer to end the operation
Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, who is currently without a team after the end of his contract with Manchester United, is very close to landing in the Spanish League and completing his signing with Villarreal. According to the newspaper ‘Marca’, the Yellow Submarine has already said yes to the Uruguayan striker, a free agent, and is only waiting to finalize the departure of Paco Alcácer to complete the puzzle.
As the president, Fernando Roig, recently anticipated, Villarreal must sell before adding anything and the departure of Alcácer, who trains outside the group until he finds a new destination, is key. Celta was interested in hiring the Valencian striker, so it is feasible to complete Cavani’s arrival.
Villarreal is bidding hard on Cavani when it was almost taken for granted that the man from Salto would sign for Turkey’s Fenerbahçe. If he wore yellow, the Spaniard would be his fourth major championship on the old continent as he has already played in Ligue 1 with PSG, Serie A with Palermo and Napoli and the Premier League with Manchester United.
Cavani, 35, has become a priority for Unai Emery, who knows him perfectly. Both coincided at PSG and Cavani became the French team’s all-time goalscorer, with 200 fair goals, before emigrating to the Premier and landing at Old Trafford.
El Matador, who would take no place as a foreigner as he also held an Italian passport, would be a big claim to relaunch the League and a luxury for Villarreal. He holds the record of most successful Uruguayan in history, with 25 titles, and is his country’s top scorer in the Champions League (35 goals) and in the Europa League (20).
During his long career as a club player, he has scored 372 goals in 645 matches, which amounts to an average of 0.58 goals per game. In addition, with the light blue he scores a total of 58 goals in 131 commitments.
