Cavani brother hits back at Atletico Madrid; reveals bigger Chelsea, Man Utd offers

The brother and agent of PSG striker Edinson Cavani has confirmed offers from Manchester United and Chelsea.

Walter Fernando Guglielmone is being blamed for his brother's move to Atletico Madrid falling through over his commission demands.

"Do you think Edi didn't play for a month for me to just drop the deal because of commission and not let him fulfil his dream?" Guglielmone said on Saturday to Cadena SER.

"And this mess we made with PSG? If it was for money, Edi would have gone to England, to Manchester [United] or Chelsea.

"The deal hasn't happened, despite Edi's will.

"Atletico couldn't cover the cost of the deal and PSG wouldn't lower their demands.

"Atletico failed to close the deal with PSG."
