Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin is trying to use personal connections to attract a world-class striker to the team.
It is reported that the Uruguayan is persuading his compatriot Edinson Cavani to come to the La Liga championship.
The 29-year-old PSG forward has been linked with foreign clubs for several seasons as he is not satisfied with his situation in the French capital.
Yes, I tried to talk to Cavani several times. He likes Atletico and the team's style of play, as it is similar to the way the Uruguay national team plays," said Godin.
This season, the striker has scored 19 goals in Ligue 1.
The footballer's contract with the Paris team is valid until the summer of 2018.
