Napoli to accept Edinson Cavani Chelsea bid?

Italian source CalcioMercato  claim Chelsea's Edinson Cavani transfer bid will be accepted  by the Serie A side within the next 48 hours. The Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis will have a meeting with Chelsea’s new manager Jose Mourinho this week to discuss the sale of their star Edinson Cavani to Stamford Bridge.

A deal has already been reportedly agreed, one that will cost the Blues around 49m and could also include additional benefits for Napoli If the forward has a good time at Chelsea.


There has been a great deal of speculation as to Cavani’s future at Naples and talk of an exit had only magnified since Rafa Benitez took over and De Laurentiis appears ready to cash in on the Uruguayan international.


The former Palermo ace has netted 104 goals in 138 appearances for Napoli and is considered one of the deadliest strikers in the world.


Fernando Torres managed just 8 goals in 36 Premier League appearances last term and his partner Demba ba could only muster 2 goals in the Premier League since his January move.


Cavani is currently on International duty at the Confederations Cup and one would imagine if a deal is struck, then the forward would be able to discuss personal terms later this month.
