Edinson Cavani insists situation with PSG teammate Neymar is "relaxed now"

Cavani, Neymar situation "relaxed now"

Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani has spoken of his apparent dispute with teammate Neymar by insisting that the situation is now "relaxed".

The two were seen arguing over penalty duties during the French side's 2-0 win over Lyon on September 17.

In the end, Cavani missed from the spot, but talk of the pair's relationship continued to rumble in the rumour mill, with PSG forced to deny that they had offered the Uruguayan a bonus to hand over penalty duties to Neymar.

Cavani, though, has suggested that the apparent feud with his teammate was blown out of proportion.

"It's football stuff. Sometimes things get so big," the Daily Mail quotes the forward as saying. "The truth is that everyone is aware that things have become bigger than they are.

"These are things you discuss in the locker room. Everything has a solution. It's all relaxed now. It is important that everyone strives for the same goal."

Neymar moved to the French club in the summer from Barcelona for a world-record £200m fee.
