An aggregation of all the lucrative striking options that are out there for the Serie A Champions that can propel their UEFA Champions League campaign, and determining which of them is the best.
In the last part we had a short account of the situation that Juventus are faced with at the moment and went into a detailed analysis of one of the most likely striking options for Juventus in the form of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stevan-Jovetic-c34163.
In this continuation of the feature we will get to know one of the most attractive options out there for the Old Lady, which may be closer to taking a trip to the Turin giants than most people anticipate.

With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 gone with the wind to Paris Saint-Germain, Edinson Cavani can rightly be called as the best striker left in Serie A at the moment.
The Uruguayan international is an integral part of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003’s famous attacking trio, and his stats for the past few years speak for themselves.
The Partenopei star has scored 66 goals in the last two seasons for his team in Italy’s top flight. Talk about consistency, the attacker has been scoring a flat 33 goals per season since signing with the Naples outfit.
He has the height of Ibrahimovic, and the charm that can light up the whole stadium with just his presence.
If that alone was not enough to get you buying the striker already, the player is just 25 years of age meaning that he has plenty of years of football ahead of him, and that also tells us that we are yet to witness the best of him.
There is no doubting the quality of the striker and neither the enormous amount of UEFA Champions League class of value that the former Palermo-man can bring to the Turin giants.
Cavani is not only Italian descent, but his amazing antics in Serie A stand testament to his Serie A pedigree. Moreover, the way he devoured http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s defence in the last season’s Champions League game, signals to the striker’s ambidexterity at the highest
stage as well.
However, with the dream striker comes bitter reality, and the reality for now is that President Aurelio De Laurentiis does not want to part company with the player, after having sold http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073 to PSG already.
European giants like Chelsea and the Parisians have been reported to have taken the quest to sign the star with lucrative offers but failed.
Juventus themselves offered all sorts of swap plus cash deals that at one point included Matri and also Giovinco at another, coupled with a considerable amount of money.
While the fact all such offers were sidelined by Napoli without so much as a second thought, and indications that the owners are looking for a price in the whereabouts of € 35-40 million has put a big question mark on the possibility of luring the player
away from the club without attempting a kidnap.
However, there has been a recent silver lining for Juventus in the prevailing dark cloud, as the club and the player are going over a riot pertaining to renegotiation of contract.
Moreover, the brass tracks taken by De Laurentiis on the matter could induce the striker, who is transfer market gold at the moment, to rethink his future with the Naples outfit.
This will give the Bianconeri a shot at shining some cheques with big figures on them, and ensnare Cavani into signing with the Italian Champions where he will have a great chance to play UEFA Champions League football alongside an A-team.
The Azzurri attacker represents the best option out there for the Old Lady, and it is about time for Beppe Marotta to put his foot down in a final brace to acquire the services of the player that can make all their dreams come true.
