Edinson Cavani interested to be led by either Mourinho or Pellegrini

Edinson Cavani has been lately showing interest to play under the leadership and guidance of Jose Mourinho and Manuel Pellegrini.

On being asked whether he would like to play for Chelsea or Manchester United, he said, “I don’t know if they made an offer for me, I just know that to be coached by someone like Manuel Pellegrini or Jose Mourinho would always be a pleasure.

And when the time is right it would be great to play for one of these teams, because when I was a child I imagined doing it – but now I am only thinking about Uruguay. In my career I have always had to deal with rumours of me signing for another team and I just have to keep my feet on the ground.”

Edinson, who is well known for scoring for Napoli against the Blues in last year’s edition of UEFA Champions League is being linked to the top clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris St-Germain.

On the new Napoli manager Rafa Benitez, Cavani was quoted saying,

“I don’t know, I think there are other factors that could change my future. I have a contract with Napoli but on the other hand there are some conversations but everything is uncertain at the moment,”

“What I know is that I belong to Napoli, that I’m thinking about my national team because we have a very difficult qualifying game and we also have a difficult tournament [Confederations Cup] to deal with and after all these commitments I’ll think about what is going to happen.”

Luis Suarez, who might quit Liverpool and the Premier League, is his international team mate and on his resignation, Cavani feels that his decision would be a rather personal one and is also of the opinion that Suarez is fit for the English football.

He also defended Suarez, who is currently banned in England for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic.

Defending Suarez who is currently expelled for having bitten Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic, Cavani says,

“These things happen in life when you are on the pitch you are really excited and you have to deal with some situations you are not used to,” he said.

“It’s not fair to judge a person for one thing on the pitch when there is a match going on and you are extra excited and sometimes you make a mistake.

“The most important thing is that he has recognised he has made a mistake.

“He is the only person who knows where he will play, I don’t know what my future will be so I can only guess about another people.”
