Edinson Cavani feels Napoli's €63 million asking price is too high amid strong interest from the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City and is eager to open talks with the club to resolve his future.
Napoli
president Aurelio De Laurentiis stressed last week that the Serie A
outfit will only allow the 26-year-old to leave if an interested club
meets his €63m buyout clause, but Cavani feels his pricetag does not
represent his actual value and he hopes to convince the club to lower
their demands.
"I don't think I'm worth €63m. I will have to talk
to De Laurentiis about it. I owe a lot to Napoli and I want to leave
through the front door if I move on," Cavani told Marca.
"I
am feeling very good at Napoli, but it all depends on the club. We will
have to wait and see what options I have. What I want to do is sit down
face-to-face with the club president and decide my future together.
"Real
are one of the best clubs in the world, but there is no deal yet. When
you're a kid, you dream about playing at a team like Madrid or
Barcelona, but right now I'm at Napoli and I'm very proud to be there.
"If I leave one day, I'll be ready to move to a bigger club. We'll see."
The
Uruguay international already demanded showdown talks with De
Laurentiis on Monday following the Napoli president's comments that he
expects the striker to make up his mind before July 20.
Cavani's current contract with Napoli runs until the summer of 2017.
