Valencia pushes to formalize the agreement with Cavani – Superdeporte

Valencia, Gennaro Gattuso and the fans count the days until the new ‘Matador’ arrives at Mestalla. Edinson Cavani will become a new Valencia player shortly. All parties to the negotiation are optimistic and trust that the operation will be closed in the near future. It is only a matter of time before the Uruguayan striker signs his new contract and dresses in black and white with the number ‘7’ on his back, inheriting Gonçalo Guedes’ number. The club and the player’s entourage are convinced the operation will go ahead. All parties involved breathe optimism. The signing of the Uruguayan is very much on track since Monday night. Just need to close it. The player landed in Madrid last weekend and is in Spain waiting to receive the call from Valencia. Everything is agreed. The forward will sign one season with the option of another and will fulfill one of his last dreams of his long sports career: to play in the Spanish LaLiga at 35 years of age. Cavani has chosen Valencia ahead of other clubs that longed for his signing. The Uruguayan rejected a succulent offer from the French Nice financially superior to that of Valencia and the Villarreal option, although he has spoken personally with Unai Emery, has been ruled out for days. There is only one possible way: to play for Valencia. This is how the club understood it also in terms of the market. Valencia has opted for Cavani to the point that his arrival has conditioned reinforcements in defense and midfield. The operations of Cenk Özkacar and André Almeida were accelerated with the aim of freeing up wage bills and thus being able to undertake the signing of Cavani. A financial strategy that needs a final step: the departure of Maxi Gómez and Marcos André. The two Valencia strikers are reluctant to go out because, among other reasons, they see themselves with options to be protagonists in this run-down striker without Guedes. The club knows the intention of the two, but is convinced that in the end they will end up giving in and will look for a good solution for both parties. Valencia hopes to enter 8 million for Maxi. Four fewer than he initially intended. The problem is that Turkey’s best proposal has only reached 4 million. The Uruguayan no longer has the Premier route. There was an English team willing to reach 12 ‘kilos’, but they have finally ruled out the striker. The club, meanwhile, is still in negotiations with Rayo Vallecano to release Marcos André. Any effort is little. Cavani is worth it. Peter Lim invests in the young André Almeida
