Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis admits they could sell Edinson Cavani to Chelsea over the weekend. De Laurentiis expects to hear from the Europa League winners in the near future.

He said: "There is interest from Chelsea in Cavani, they'll call me in the next few hours.

"If Cavani is sold then I'll reinvest all of the £53.5million of his release clause.

"I'll be delighted if he stays, but if he leaves then he will be adequately replaced."

Jose Mourinho had access to all of Real Madrid's scouting reports on Cavani last season and supported their push for the Uruguayan.
