Götze, Cavani, Douglas Costa ... Mercato info to remember

Mario Götze with Niko Kovac in Monaco?
It's an open secret: formerly stationed at Bayern Munich, Niko Kovac is about to take his place on the bench of AS Monaco, replacing Robert Moreno. And it could draw a former German world champion in its wake. According to  Bild ,  Mario Götze  is indeed one of the players who like ASM. The German daily adds that the Principality could greatly please the wife of the now ex-Dortmund player, Ann-Kathrin, who works as a model ... Mario Götze, 28, was recently released by BVB 09.  

Benfica dreams of Cavani
Free of any contract,  Edinson Cavani  is still without a club since the announcement of his departure from PSG on June 30. And this despite numerous rumors, his name having in turn been associated with Atlético, Inter Milan, AS Rome or even MLS clubs. It must be said that the salary requirements of the 33-year-old Uruguayan international are high… However, they do not prevent Benfica from “dreaming” of signing the Matador. The dolphins of Porto in the Portuguese championship would indeed like to offer Cavani to their new trainer, Jorge Jesus, as reported by the daily  Record,  which made its front page this Sunday. Former Palermo and Naples, Cavani has scored 200 goals in seven years under the Parisian colors. Enough to make him the top scorer in club history. Unlike Thiago Silva, he chose to leave Paris at the end of his contract, without playing in the final phase of the Champions League ... in Lisbon.

PSG in the race for Douglas Costa?
Douglas Costa  at PSG? A rumor that has already flourished in recent months.
