Edinson Cavani attracted interest from a number of clubs during the January transfer windowEdinson Cavani would have joined Chelsea or Manchester United in January if he was driven by money, according to the Paris Saint-Germain forward's mother. Chelsea and United were among the clubs credited with an interest, along with Atletico Madrid and David Beckham's newly-formed MLS franchise Inter Miami. Cavani's mother said her son wanted to play under Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid"He should have told the fans why Cavani really didn't go to Atletico. It's because, firstly, PSG didn't want him to leave and secondly, Atletico never reached the amount PSG wanted when they negotiated. He put pressure on by not playing at PSG and told his brother that he was willing to drop his wages to sign with Atletico.
