Edinson Cavani wants to move

While the current season is still ongoing, the international break  represents an important occasion for Serie A’ s clubs to outline strategies for the next campaign and plan their summer transfer dealings in advance.
Napoli’s Edinson Cavani is a name which you would find easily on the top of European clubs’ shopping lists. Real Madrid might see him as Cristiano Ronaldo’s replacement if the Portuguese winger leaves the Spanish capital and Chelsea could be keen on taking a prolific striker, especially with the recent flops of Demba Ba and Fernando Torres. However, according to the Guardian, the Uruguayan is set on a move to Manchester, where City are expected to make a big summer spree in order to bolster the squad.
With big clubs circling Cavani, Napoli are seeking his substitute. A swap with City’s Edin Dzeko might be the easiest solution, with Bayern Munich’s Mario Gomez – who lost his starting place in the Bavarian team after the arrival of Croatian Mario Madzukic –  representing a valid alternative.
In the meantime, Napoli are also looking in South America, and recently monitored Internacional de Porto Alegre striker Leandro Damiao, who was linked with a  move to Tottenham Hotspur last January, though the club eventually failed to sign him.
Along with Cavani, Fiorentina’s Stevan Jovetic is arguably among the most desired Serie A’s players in Europe. The Montenegrin has been strongly linked with a move to Juventus, but the long-lasting rivalry between the two clubs might suggest that the Della Valle family will try to sell him to a foreign club instead. Manchester City and Arsenal are both interested in the 23-year-old attacker. The Bianconeri might tempt Fiorentina including in the deal players like Alessandro Matri, Fabio Quagliarella and Sebastian Giovinco.
It is clear that Juventus, after having signed striker Fernando Llorente last January, are looking to add more firepower to compete in Europe. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, they are monitoring big names like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Luis Suarez, while Arsenal’s Lukas Podolski and Barcelona’s Alexis Sanchez are also linked with Old Lady. The latter, a former Udinese player, is no longer a key player for the Catalan side, therefore he would be happy to come back to Serie A, and even Inter have put his name in their shopping list.
The Nerazzurri are also expected to sign Sampdoria starlet Mauro Icardi for next season. Aforementioned Bosnian striker Dzeko is another target, as well as Bologna’s 29-year-old playmaker Alessandro Diamanti, who has impressed so far this season and would aim for playing on the big stage. Inter are also ready to make a bid for some of Barcelona’s marginal players, such as defensive midfielders Alex Song and left-back Martin Montoya
