Cavani’s mum calls for Atletico Madrid president to apologise

Berta Gomez, Edinson Cavani’s mother, says her son had done everything he could to secure a move to Atletico Madrid, and he would have liked to work under Atletico coach Diego Simeone.

Edinson Cavani will be able to move to Atletico Madrid this summer, despite Spanish club president Enrique Cerezo criticizing the Uruguayan striker district, calling his family and relatives “greedy”.

“This situation with the families and representatives of some players is embarrassing. We will not bow to those who are trying to deceive us, “Cerezo said.

Edinson Cavani’s transfer from Paris Saint-Germain failed in the end. Spanish media suggested that his brother and agent, Walter, had requested a bonus to complete the deal. Cerezo suggested this was true with his latest statement, but Cavani’s mother has denied it.

“It is not impossible for Edinson to go to Atletico Madrid this summer if and when the president pulls back what he has said,” Berta Gomez said.

“We don’t understand why he spoke that way. It was inappropriate and it hurt us a lot. It is completely incorrect to say that Walter asked for a bonus for himself. He should have told the fans why Cavani didn’t really go to Atletico. ”

“The transfer failed for two reasons: firstly, Paris Saint-Germain did not allow him to leave and, secondly, Atletico Madrid never made an offer with the amount of money PSG demanded during the negotiations.”

“My son did everything possible to get to Atletico. He pressured PSG to refuse to play and showed his brother that he was willing to pay less to go to Atletico. He wanted to play with Simeone and witnessed it. ”
