Barcelona-linked Cavani wanted by Gremio following PSG departure

Brazilian outfit Gremio have gone public with their desire to sign veteran striker Edinson Cavani, who is currently a free agent.

The 33-year-old left Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expired in June, missing the Ligue 1 champions’ run to the final of the Champions League.

Cavani established himself as a leading poacher in Europe after first moving to Palermo in 2007 from Danubio, and Gremio president Romildo Bolzan Junio is now ready to launch an ambitious bid to take him back to South America, though he admits that the decision will be taken out of his hands if the experienced hitman wants to remain in the spotlight.
