Boban questions Cavani price tag

Former AC Milan midfielder Zvonimir Boban believes the 63-million-euro release clause in Edinson Cavani’s contract with Napoli is too high.

The Uruguay star has netted 22 goals in 28 appearances in the Serie A so far this season and has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.

But Boban feels that Napoli’s asking price is unrealistic and is twice as high as the striker’s actual market value..

“Cavani is a great player,” the 44-year-old told Radio Goal.

“However, I do not believe that he is worth 63 million euros on the transfer market. That’s just my opinion, an honest one. Perhaps he’s worth about half of that figure.”

Meanwhile, Boban revealed he is hoping Juventus win their second-leg tie in the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern, but believes chances for the Italians to proceed are slim after they suffered a 2-0 defeat in Bavaria last week.

“I think Juventus have little chance against Bayern, although I hope that I am wrong,” he said.

“Bayern proved that they are clearly better and that just can’t disappear. In order for Juventus to qualify then everything will have to go right.”
