The tug of war continues. The transfer window is ending in two days, and PSG and Atlético can't seem to see eye to eye on Cavani's transfer. The main reason? The Parisian team doesn't seem willing to sit down with the Spanish team to negotiate a mutually satisfactory agreement.
Atletico's offer has gone from 10 to 15 million euros, but it seems tat amount is still not enough for PSG owner Al-Khelaïfi and his team, according to 'L'Équipe'. Despite the fact that the Uruguayan finishes his contract in June, they are not willing to let him leave for such a figure.
Meanwhile, Atletico believes it is a more than fair offer for a striker who will be 33 years old in a month and who will be a free agent as of June. However, as Juanma Castaño said in 'El Partidazo de COPE', one of Spain's leading sports radio programs, the club is waiting this Wednesday for representatives of an English investment fund to hold a meeting to see if they can participate in the purchase of the Uruguayan player.
A new alternative route that could finally cause a breakthrough with PSG, who are not backing down in their position. The footballer, for his part, cannot do much more either. In fact, he was once again dropped from Thomas Tuchel's squad for the cup match against Pau FC.
The constant meetings between Cavani's agent and Atletico served to reach a common point, but they are of little value if the French club does not agree to engage in a conversation to sell.
Atletico hope that the Parisian club, with the market closing in only two days, will reevaluate and let Cavani go before the situation reaches a boiling point with a player who has spent so many years at the club and who means so much to the fans in Paris.
