Napoli's Edinson Cavani to "consider the whole situation" next month

Cavani to "consider the whole situation" next month

Napoli forward Edinson Cavani has said that he will consider his future when he returns from a family holiday next month.

The 26-year-old, who has a £54m buyout clause in his contract, has been heavily linked with a number of top European clubs, including Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Speaking after Uruguay's penalty shootout defeat to Italy in the Confederations Cup third-place playoff, Cavani told Rai TV: "Everything I say at the moment could be misunderstood, so I prefer not to talk about the future.

"I'm going on holiday with my family and then I will come back to Italy to consider the whole situation."

Cavani, who scored twice against Italy in regular time, has netted 17 goals in 54 senior international appearances.
