London's "Chelsea" club has reached an agreement with the Italian team "Napoli" regarding the transfer fee for striker Edinson Cavani, reports "The Telegraph".
According to press reports, this striker has also been of interest to the teams of "Manchester City" and "Real" recently. Cavani's father recently stated that his son would choose the royal club.
However, the Naples radio station "Radio Marte" reported that "Chelsea" and "Napoli" have reached an agreement and the Uruguayan should wear the London team's jersey.
It is reported that the player's price will reach 58 million euros, and the footballer himself should earn 8.5 million euros annually within the "aristocrats" ranks.
Nevertheless, before finalizing this deal, the new team strategist Rafael Benitez wants to find a replacement for the departing E. Cavani, so the transfer may be slightly delayed.
Last season, the Uruguayan was a true leader of his team and in 34 "Serie A" championship matches, the footballer scored 29 goals and made 5 assists.
