expected move from Napoli, the Uruguayan could
form a "wonderful" duo with Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Thiago Motta has hailed the "wonderful" impact that Edinson
Cavani could have on Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the striker's
expected transfer.
The Napoli striker had been attracting interest from the likes of
Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester City but none would bid
as high as his €63 million contract clause.
However, PSG are believed to have come closest to the Serie A
side's valuation of Cavani and reports in France suggest a deal
could be completed as soon as Thursday.
Motta, 30, told Le Parisien on Wednesday: "He is very strong.
He works hard on the pitch while scoring a lot. He is a real
centre forward on which we can rely.
"If a transfer were to happen, it would be a great thing. He has
done so much for Napoli and Uruguay. Cavani could help Paris
to grow."
The Brazilian also talked up the prospect of the 26-year-old
Uruguayan partnering up in attack with Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
who took Ligue 1 by storm in his debut PSG season by firing in
more goals than any other player to help the club take the
title.
"They are very strong," he added. "An Ibra and Cavani
combination would be wonderful for Paris. But I do not want
to talk too much about him as it is not official. For now, he is
still a Napoli player."
The midfielder is not bothered by newly promoted side
Monaco following PSG's tactic in recent transfer windows by
spending big to fashion a formidable outfit and believes the
competition between the two sides will benefit Ligue 1.
"It's beautiful," Motta added. "This will make a large part of
the world watch more French football. It will be good for all.
"But, although I hope it will become a major event, it will take
time for a PSG-Monaco rivalry to reach to level of Barcelona-
Real Madrid or Bayern Munich-Borussia Dortmund. The future
looks exciting for French football. It's great what is happening
in France."
