The aborted transfer of Edinson Cavani from PSG to Atlético de Madrid is always a talk. For a few days, the Spanish club and the player's camp have been settling scores. Last episode to date: the release of El Matador's mother on Tuesday in the columns of AS, a powerful sports daily.
Cavani wanted to join Diego Simeone's team this January 2020, but Madrid never found the 20 million euros claimed by PSG. On Saturday, Enrique Cerezo, president of Atlético, turned on Walter, the half-brother and agent of the top scorer in the history of the capital's club. According to him, the transfer was overturned due to the greediness of the Cavani clan, claiming a bonus for the pharaonic signature.
"He did everything he could to go to Atlético"
"We do not understand why the president said such barbarity, replies this Tuesday Berta Gomez, very angry. It was irrelevant. It hurt a lot, because it is absolutely false that Walter asked for a signing bonus. ”
She indicates that her son "did everything he could to go to Atlético. He put pressure on the PSG to let him go and then he told his brother that he was willing to lower his salary to facilitate a transfer. He wanted to play for El Cholo Simeone (Editor's note: Atlético coach) and he demonstrated it every moment. Edinson didn't want money to be a problem, because if it was for the money, he would have gone to Manchester United, Chelsea or Inter Miami, who made an important offer for him. "
From now on, Berta Gomez demands a co-pedaling from the leader under penalty of signing elsewhere next summer. "He must ask for forgiveness," she explains. We are not mean and everything can be fixed if it shrinks. My son is going to have offers, it is indisputable, because he is a proven striker, as he has shown over all these years, but he still thinks he can go to Atlético because he would like to play under El Cholo's orders. Cavani's parents had already intervened publicly in January but this time to regret the position of PSG, adamant on its financial requirements.
