Inter never made a formal offer for Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani, according to a report from Italian media outlet FcInterNews earlier today.
The report details how the Nerazzurri appreciated the 33-year-old Uruguayan forward, whose contract is expiring with PSG at the end of the season, but never made a formal offer for the player. Instead, they talked to his entourage only, but nothing further. The club thought of him as a potential idea after the collapsed deal for Dries Mertens, but his high wages pushed the club.
Cavani has already signed a pre-contract with Atletico Madrid, the report continues, a two-year contract worth €10 million net per season. The only other club seriously interested in the player was Newcastle, who were planning to overhaul the squad once the Saudi takeover was completed.
Inter are waiting to pull the trigger on signing a new forward, the report highlights, as they want to see what will happen to Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez first.
