Napoli stand firm on Cavani

Image: Edinson Cavani: Napoli have not yet been tempted to sell the striker

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis says he has yet to receive an offer that would tempt him to sell Edinson Cavani as he wants 'mega' money.

No acceptable bids have yet been tabled for Uruguayan

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis says he has yet to receive an offer that would tempt him to sell Edinson Cavani as he wants 'mega' money for the Uruguayan striker. Cavani is a reported target of several top European clubs, including Manchester City, after another excellent campaign in Serie A. The 25-year-old was instrumental in Napoli's fifth-placed finish this season, scoring 23 goals in 35 league appearances. He is under contract with Napoli until June 2015 but De Laurentiis accepts that it would be impossible to turn down an extraordinary bid, having previously slapped a €100million (£80m) price tag on his star forward. "If we receive a mega offer for Cavani then I will not be able to hold back," De Laurentiis told Gazzetta dello Sport. "For now, no club has offered me the money I'm asking for." Inter Milan, Chelsea and Paris St Germain are among the other clubs to have been linked with a move for Cavani.
