adminLONDON. — Chelsea are lining up a dramatic £50 million bid for Paris Saint-Germain hit man Edinson Cavani in a bid to solve their goal scoring problems.
Maurizio Sarri is keen on the Uruguayan who was the most expensive signing in French history when he moved to PSG from Napoli six years ago.
Sarri, who is preparing to remodel his squad in the next two transfer windows, could offload six or seven players this month alone.
He has seen his side only score 38 goals in the Premier League which is comfortably the lowest number of the clubs in the top six and has lost faith in his front men.
Cavani (31) has scored 324 goals in 519 appearances could be the right man to get his side firing in goals again but they could find they have competition from China. Meanwhile, the Blues are also interested in finalising a deal that will see them pay £45 million for Cagliari’s Italian international midfielder Nicolo Barella. — The Daily Express
