Edinson Cavani's mother says the PSG star would prefer to stay in Europe.

The Uruguay international has been linked with a return to his homeland once his contract with PSG expires this summer.

Atletico Madrid were linked with the 33-year-old, and his mother, Berta Gomez, says he remains keen on a move to La Liga.

"Fortunately today, there are many clubs interested in signing Cavani. He still does not know where he will play, he has three months left in Paris," Gomez told Ovacion Digital.

"We have to think carefully. At the moment, he has no intention of returning to Uruguay, he is planning to continue in Europe and would like to go to Spain.

"My son is going to have offers, it is unquestionable because he is a proven forward, as he has shown in all these years.

"But he keeps thinking about being able to go to Atletico because he would like to play under Cholo [Diego Simeone]."

Manchester United and Chelsea have also shown an interest in the former Napoli man.
