# Chelsea reportedly interested in Edinson Cavani

Following his recent spat with teammate Neymar over a penalty, PSG striker Edinson Cavani has put a host of clubs on alert with his future in doubt.

The [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-4902318/Chelsea-Everton-Edinson-Cavani.html) note that Chelsea, along with Everton and former club Napoli, are all interested in signing Cavani should he be made available for transfer after reports suggested that Neymar has requested that the Ligue 1 side offload the Uruguayan centre-forward.

After spending £199m to bring Neymar to the club in a world-record deal, PSG are under pressure to balance the books amid FFP fears and Cavani is a strong candidate to be sold.

The 30-year-old striker joined PSG in 2013 for £58m from Napoli and has scored 139 goals in 206 appearances over the last four years.

Juventus and Inter Milan are both also interested in Cavani while Borussia Dortmund could move to sign him if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leaves in the near future.

Chelsea appear to have found an ideal replacement for Diego Costa in Alvaro Morata but the Blues do lack striker depth beyond the Spaniard and Cavani could solve those problems.
