Report: Chelsea Agree Personal Terms With Edinson Cavani

We all knew we had not heard the last of Edinson Cavani rumours. By now, people who have been reading my blog must be familiar with Tancredi Palmeri.

There are reports of Chelsea having found an agreement with Cavani over personal terms, pending an agreement with Napoli -1

Palmeri then tweeted again after three minutes to confirm he knew Chelsea have been discussing with Cavani's representatives recently.

Checking my sources, from my side I can confirm that Chelsea had many talks with Cavani entourage in the very last days

While this doesn't mean in anyway that Chelsea have gotten their man, it's still a step in the right direction. Chelsea now need to agree a fee with Napoli. Actually, Chelsea shouldn't be discussing personal terms with Cavani without permission from Napoli. Nice move though as it will now be difficult for Napoli to stop him from moving. Chelsea's unwillingness to pay his buyout fee might eventually Napoli to settle for a reasonably less amount.

Do you want Chelsea to go on with the Cavani chase?

VIDEO: Cavani Scores As Uruguay Lose To Brazil

Chelsea transfer target, Edinson Cavani was silent during the group games against World champions, Spain and Champions of Africa, Nigeria against whom he was marked out of the game by Chelsea-owned 19 year-old Nigerian, Kenneth Omeruo. He was then unceremoniously dropped against everyone's favourite team, Tahiti. 

Cavani silenced critics with his performance against Brazil. His work rate during the match was incredible and Thiago Silva- David Luiz struggled to contain he, Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan. He thoroughly deserved his goal, some lackadaisical defending by Brazil and Cavani pounced with his left foot, a real striker's goal.

Can we then say Omeruo is better than Luiz? *laughs* Football is sometimes like that. That's not to say Omeruo isn't quality, he's an extremely talented lad. 

David Luiz, Oscar and Brazil are into the final. Luiz had a bad night(gave a penalty away too) while Oscar had a quiet evening. It wasn't just them, the whole Brazil squad was in shambles. Mr. Neymar shot the ball less and dived more. Congratulations to Luiz and Oscar! 

Edinson, you are not a Chelsea player, not yet at least. Well done! People can now keep quiet about Chelsea being foolish to be scrambling for your signature.

Edinson Cavani Tells Parents To Shut Up

Most Chelsea fans would not have liked the comments made by Edinson Cavani's parents, Berta and Luis Cavani. If you are part of the clique, you have got support because Edinson Cavani isn't pleased with their comments either and he wants them to keep quiet.

My father has talked about Real? I want to point out that these words are not coming from me. I've asked my parents a thousand times not to say any more. They can only hurt me. I belong to Napoli as it stands and that depends on the club. If another option presents itself, we will evaluate it.

Mr & Mrs Cavani, can you please cooperate with your son Edinson? Honestly I don't mind your comments though, only if you favour a move to the Stadium Bridge.

REPORT: Chelsea agree €58 million Cavani deal

A late one,straight from Napoli. Several media outlets already reporting that Chelsea and Napoli have agreed a €58 million deal for Edinson Cavani.

Radio Marte, the official radio station of Napoli football club made the following statement late on Monday. 

“We have received news in the office from a very reliable source that Napoli have sealed a deal with Chelsea for Cavani’s sale, Rafa Benitez also gave the all-clear, but before making the move official Napoli want to secure the striker who will replace Il Matador, Aurelio De Laurentiis’ club will pick up around €58m, a slight discount on the buy-out clause, which is the same situation as Ezequiel Lavezzi to PSG last year. The player will earn €8.5m per season plus image rights.”

I can't say if we can start celebrating Cavani's imminent arrival as Radio Marte themselves are quoting another source. I guess we still need to wait.

Yes, yes, don't send me the links and everything. I repeat: had negative feedback on a supposed 58m € deal for Cavani at Chelsea

Palmeri doesn't believe the rumour, we will find out who's right soon. Still relax, keep your hope minimal so you won't be disappointed. 

Reports: Napoli Reject Chelsea bid for Cavani

Still today, in a matter of hours Napoli have rejected Chelsea's bid for Edinson Cavani as expected. Tancredi Palmeri is my man once again.

Chelsea latest bid for Cavani has been definitely rejected by Napoli
— Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) June 13, 2013

Where do we go from here? Napoli are making the best use of interests from Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea in Cavani. Looks like we have to make a bid closer to or the buy out fee (63 million euros). Keep trusting in "The Happy One" and Mr. Roman. KTBFFH! 

Report: Chelsea bid €50million for Edinson Cavani

Reports all over the web and social media claim Chelsea have submitted a bid of €50 million for Napoli star striker, Edinson Cavani. Popular and reliable transfers' guru also reported the same. See for yourself.

Chelsea have placed a 50m € bid for Cavani

Palmeri isn't quoting any reports here which implies that he's pretty sure about it. He also went on to suggest that the move smacks of desperation.

To me it seems pretty clear that Chelsea is rushing the Cavani thing before Real Madrid would be ready to jump in. Let's see Napoli reply
— Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) June 13, 2013

I saw something else which makes the whole thing interesting. A tweet,this time not from Palmieri.

Napoli's star striker Edinson Cavani is in talks with Real Madrid and Manchester City, according to his mother. - #CFC #MCFC #RMCF

Are Manchester City and Real madrid making some tricky moves before having a bid accepted? It could also be a trick to make Chelsea move faster for him. Cavani seems desperate to move and I don't know if any Chelsea fan will hate to see him in the Chelsea blue.

And...the Andre Schurrle saga is all but over. Are we in for a big Schurrle-Cavani party? Once again being a Chelsea fan brings lot of anxiety.
