Gremio President Rules Out Signing Former PSG Forward Cavani | OneFootball

Former Paris Saint-Germain forward and current free agent Edinson Cavani is still looking for a new club. But it is safe to say that he will not be heading to play in the Brasileiro Serie A anytime soon.

The Uruguayan forward was recently linked to a surprise move to Brazilian side Gremio. However, Gremio club president Romildo Bolzan is denying any such rumors linking his side to the Ligue 1 legend. In an interview with the Brazilan-based outlet Zero Hora (via Fox Sports Brazil), Bolzan talked about why this dream transfer move is not an option for either side.

“This is an issue that we should not even feed the fan’s dream,” Bolzan said. “Cavani is a player who has proposals from about ten European clubs, all superior to what any Brazilian club can afford.”

Cavani’s high wage demands are the main reason as to why he has not signed with a team just yet. Portuguese side S.L. Benfica was the last team to show a strong interest in signing Cavani but ended its pursuit after deciding not to meet Cavani’s wage demands.

Juventus is the latest team to show interest in signing Cavani, but there have been no reports of the reigning Serie A winners engaging in contract talks with the forward.
