The Uruguayan forward denied all reports linking him to a move to the Turin outfit and committed his future to Walter Mazzarri’s outfit for the upcoming season.
Juventus have not hidden their admiration for the tall centre-forward, and have launched many bids for the striker to lure him to the Old Lady. Napoli were initially offered 40 million Euros along with their Italian striker, Alessandro
Matri; an offer which was not accepted by the Partenopei board.
The Uruguayan had a great season for the Naples based outfit, scoring 23 times in the Serie A to ensure that Napoli finish fifth in the league standings. The striker played a huge role in Napoli’s progression in the UEFA Champions
League, the competition in which they bowed out after losing to the eventual winners, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, in the round of 16.
His performances for the club aroused interest from all across Europe, with the cash rich Manchester City showing an interest in the services of the Napoli attacker. However, there was no other club who have made more consistent
bids and have shown their intent to sign the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danubio-c38898 striker.
Cavani was the focal point of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073 and Marek Hamsik in his support. The attacking trio led Napoli to the Coppa Italia, in which Walter Mazzarri’s men defeated the Scudetto
winners, Juventus, to lift the trophy.
Having seen the impact he has on the field of play and his proven Serie A track record, Juventus have given a few bids for the striker. The second bid saw http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724 to Naples with Cavani
coming to the Bianconeri. The deal also included 20 million Euros in cash going to Napoli.
The striker was giving an interview to the Corriere dello Sport and during his interview, the former Palermo centre-forward was quoted to have said:
“I know nothing about Juventus. I want to stay at Napoli.”
The Partenopei fans would be breathing a sigh of relief after Cavani's recent statement. Juventus director, Beppe Marotta, has stressed that Juventus would be bringing a world class striker to the club this summer.
