D. Simeone's assistant: "Atletico" wants to acquire Cavani.

The assistant coach of the main Madrid team „Atletico“ Oscar Ortega revealed that the capital club is interested in acquiring the forward Edinson Cavani from „Paris Saint-Germain“.

The 28-year-old footballer has been linked to a move to „rojiblancos“ for some time, and former player of this team Diego Forlan recently stated that Cavani would fit perfectly for the La Liga champions.

The Uruguayan is believed to be unhappy with his role at PSG. In addition, he has failed to score in the last eight matches.

„Yes, there is interest and I would very much like to acquire him. Both for us and for himself“, - Ortega told Radio 1010.

In the same interview, the assistant to Diego Simeone also praised the reliable central defensive pair of Diego Godin and Jose Gimenez that make up the team this year.
