Edinson Cavani is putting pressure on Paris Saint Germain to force a departure and the French side have got down to work to look for a substitute. 'L'Equipe' reports that six footballers are on their agenda.

PSG are fearing the worst with Cavani. Leonardo and Tuchel had already spoken about the situation of a footballer who is more than willing to leave

The Uruguayan did not play against Lorient in the cup and Atleti continue to be alert. At the moment, the Parisian side are still saying no, but that could change.

In the meantime, the sporting director and his team are working on possible replacements for the Uruguayan. 'L'Equipe' mentions Giroud, Piatek, Higuain, Mertens, Llorente and Joao Pedro. 

With regards to the Chelsea striker who has hardly played under Lampard, he would not be against returning to his home country to form part of one of the most lethal strike forces in the world. 

In the case of Piatek, the Pole is not having a good time at AC Milan and they want to sell him. There is talk of Tottenham being in a good position to get him. 

With regards to Mertens and Llorente, both play at Napoli and it looks difficult Gattuso will decide to let either of these two footballers go. 

Lastly, Joao Pedro, the Cagliari striker, is another of the names on the list. He has scored 14 goals in 23 games this season and PSG are keeping an eye on him.
