Man Utd, Chelsea target Cavani winks at Atletico Madrid

Edinson Cavani has suggested that he could be on his way to Atletico Madrid this summer.

The Uruguayan is reportedly fed up with his peripheral role at Paris Saint-Germain and could quite possibly leave Parc des Princes in the end-of-season transfer window.

While the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea have shown interest, Cavani has hinted that perhaps a transfer to Champions League finalists Atleti could be on the cards.

"At PSG I have always seen myself as a No.9 even though I've never played that role. I always sacrifice myself for the team," he told VTV Uruguay.

"The future?

"(Diego) Godin knows me very well and has repeatedly told me that I should go to Atletico Madrid as his teammate."
