Napoli's star striker Edinson Cavani is in talks with Real Madrid and Manchester City, according to his mother.

Speculation over a possible move to the Bernabeu increased when media reports claimed that Real Madrid had offered a substantial fee plus striker Gonzalo Higuain in return for Cavani. However Cavani himself, currently on duty for his country at the Confederations Cup in Brazil, seemed unsure if Spain would be the right place for him. "I don't know if Spanish football suits me," he declared. "Football there is wonderful as everyone knows, you have more freedom, but I don't know what will happen."
