Sunday evening after the victory in Lorient (1-0), Leonardo ajar the door to a departure from Cavani this winter. For the time being, the conditions are not met but the idea of seeing the best goalscorer in the history of PSG leave Paris before the end of his contract is gaining ground. This dossier nevertheless remains a real dilemma on which Mickaël Madar and Patrice Loko do not agree. Debate.
"You have to let him go, even for free"
Mickaël Madar, former PSG striker
"For him, the best is to leave now. We all agree that Edinson Cavani has lost his place. He has played very little since the start of the season and I don't see how that could change. Thomas Tuchel already did not trust him very much last season, this year, with the arrival of Icardi, it is even worse. Paris has almost two and a half teams, the possibility of spinning and Cavani is one of the few not to be included in the rotations. Even if he frees him, Paris is armed to win the national cups and the championship.
As for the Champions League, even if another striker is injured, he will be a replacement. So it would be a shame to let him languish for another six months on the bench when he is offered the opportunity to express himself in a large club. It's not the best way to part with this exceptional player who has always done a good job at PSG. But football is like that, the statutes evolve and especially the business does not leave room for feelings. Whatever the price, you have to let it go, even if it means freeing it up for free for services rendered. "
"His departure would be a real sports loss"
Patrice Loko, former PSG striker
"If PSG wants to do better than last seasons in the Champions League and why not win it, it cannot be separated from a striker as strong as Cavani. If there is a failure by one of the attackers, particularly Mauro Icardi, he will be needed. Paris has already experienced these periods with many players injured at the crucial time of the season. In addition, the club does not absolutely need financially to sell this winter. Cavani lost his place because Icardi took advantage of his injury to win. Thomas Tuchel was not going to take away a player who scores in every game, Cavani himself must understand.
For the club, it would be a real sports loss if he left. Pablo Sarabia, Julian Draxler or Choupo-Moting do not have his level. And for the holders, knowing that Cavani is on the bench and ready to enter is a source of motivation. Boys like Di Maria or Icardi know that if they fail, they can lose their places. All major European clubs are able to line up two teams. Paris must also be able to do so if it wants to claim to win the Champions League ”.
