PSG: "He wants to play Atlético", says Edinson Cavani's mother

If Edinson Cavani does not spread his future, his desires elsewhere and a possible departure to the winter transfer window, this is not really the case for his parents. On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, Luis Cavani, the father of the Uruguayan striker, did not hesitate to raise the subject during the Spanish television program "El Chiringuito".

Asked about the wishes of his son Matador, the patriarch did not seek to maintain doubt. "The country, the team and the coach that there is today at Atlético" explain according to him the reasons why the best scorer in the history of PSG (198 goals) intends to join the competitor of Real Madrid as soon as possible.

"I would like him to play there," he continued, even going so far as to confirm that "El Cholo" ( Editor's note: Diego Simeone ) wanted him now. The Paris coach says he needs it to play the Champions League. It is a sensitive subject, because I think they would not want to have to face him, if PSG were to face Atlético in the Champions League. "

“Unfair” treatment

If other large stables seem to have written the name of his son on their shelves, Luis Cavani nevertheless explained that Madrid held the rope. “Regarding Atlético, the option could be presented in June. There are other teams that follow him in England, Germany, the United States. But when you first talk to a club, you have to keep your word. And if Atlético still needs him, I think he will go there. "

In the meantime, the father of the family did not hesitate to recall the "unfair" treatment that PSG gave to his son. "He is a player who needs to play and today he only plays four or six minutes per game," he insisted.

An opinion certainly shared by Berta Gomez, the mother of the player, who went there from his little outing in the daily "As". "It's complicated, but he wants to play at Atlético," she said. If not now, it will surely be next summer. It would be great if that were the case and we have wanted it for years, but it does not depend, now, on my son, but on PSG and Atlético de Madrid. "
