The rumor was picked up on the official website of Major League Soccer (MLS), the North American professional football championship (United States and Canada). Inter Miami of David Beckham, the former Parisian, would seek to attract Edinson Cavani, which could interfere with his possible departure for Atlético de Madrid, in a phase of difficult negotiations. Less than 48 hours before the closing of the winter market in Europe, the attacker trained this Thursday morning at the Camp des Loges with his teammates.
We are able to confirm that franchises of MLS, in particular that of Beckham which will make its debut in the championship in the spring, have looked into the situation of the Matador, 32 years old, at the end of the contract in six months. Only, his current fees (over 1 million euros per month) and the salary claims mentioned by his entourage during initial contacts, have cooled the clubs concerned. The best salaries in MLS are only half of what the Uruguayan hopes to get for his last big contract.
Atlético the only concrete track
In the event that the transfer from Cavani to Atlético does not succeed, the American market will remain open, at least legally. Because, not to mention the transfer fees requested by the PSG, the American franchises are convinced that this file is inaccessible and should not come back.
While several English clubs, Manchester United in particular, have studied the file of the Parisian striker in recent days, the only concrete track for the last hours of the transfer window seems to lead to Atlético de Madrid. Remain to find an agreement between the clubs, but also between the player and the Colchoneros, because Marca evoked these last hours of important divergences on this point.
