The player moved to Napoli back in 2010 from Palermo. Even though he was not extraordinary at Palermo, he become one of the best footballers in the world at Napoli.

During his three years at the club, Cavani scored 78 goals in just 104 matches for the club. This is an extraordinary record in comparison with his three years at Palermo.

During the same period, he made 109 appearances for Palermo and scored just 34 goals. The 26-year-old regards Napoli as his second home according to his father Luis Cavani. The player was also held in high regard by the Napoli fans, which was the first time they have celebrated a player at this level since the days of Diego Maradona.

Hence, he did not want to move away from Napoli, but was eventually forced to accept the offer according to his father.

“His arrival in Paris was sudden, it was almost unexpected. My son’s intentions was to stay in Naples next season because he had one goal – to break Maradona’s goalscoring record. The PSG turned up with an incredible offer, and we all know what football is like. Naples was Edi’s second home, and I don’t think he left the fans the way he wanted. I have no doubt, though, that he will soon send a message to the Neapolitans,” said Cavani’s father.
