Cavani: I don´t think I´m worth €63m

Napoli striker Edinson Cavani has questioned whether he is worth the club’s €63 million asking price.

The Uruguay international scored 29 league goals in 34 appearances as the Naples outfit finished second in Serie A last term, confirming his status as one of European football’s hottest talents.

The likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City have subsequently been linked with a move, but Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has been keen to emphasise that such clubs must meet the forward’s buy-out clause.

However, Cavani has now hinted that he would like to leave the Italian side should the right club come calling, and hopes potential suitors will not be put off by his lofty price tag.

He told Marca: “I don’t think I’m worth €63m. I will talk to De Laurentiis about it. I owe a lot to Napoli and I want to leave through the front door if I move on.

“I am feeling very good at Napoli, but it all depends on the club. We will have to wait and see what options I have. What I want to do is sit down face to face with the club president and decide my future together.

“Real are one of the best clubs in the world, but there is no deal yet. When you’re a kid, you dream about playing at a team like Madrid or Barcelona, but right now I’m at Napoli and I’m very proud to be there.

“If I leave one day, I’ll be ready to move to a bigger club. We’ll see.”

Cavani is currently participating in the FIFA Confederations Cup with Uruguay, but has yet to hit the back of the net despite featuring in all three of his side’s games thus far.
