Napoli, City Ponder Cavani-Dzeko Swap

 

Serie A side Napoli are negotiating with Manchester City to swap their star striker Edinson Cavani for Edin Dzeko, Italian media reported on Tuesday.
"I was in London (Monday) to organise a film about Steve Jobs," Napoli president and film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis said.
"I sent (sports director Riccardo) Bigon to meet Manchester City to explore the possibility of a transfer of Cavani, as they have wanted him for several months. We must understand their possibilities. The requital is Dzeko."

The 27-year-old Bosnian forward, who played his third season with the Premier League club, would reduce the €63 million Napoli are demanding for Cavani.
The Uruguayan, 26, was the Italian league top scorer with 29 goals to help Napoli finish second - the same position that Manchester City occupied in the Premier League as Dzeko netted 14 goals.
It is believed that City could agree to a transfer fee of 45 million euros to close the deal.
De Laurentiis, who is seeking a new coach after the departure of Walter Mazzarri, denied having been in England to hire Spanish coach Rafael Benitez, the Europa League winner with Chelsea

But Jovetic has struggled for form in recent weeks and has not scored since the end of March - which has led to some criticism on the terraces. And Toni feels this will have an adverse effect on Jovetic. "Stevan feels the Fiorentina fans treat him without love," Toni told a press conference. "Everybody says that the player's struggles will end when he starts scoring again. "The way I see it in this difficult period is that Jovetic is only supported when he is making a difference on the field. At the moment, there is no enthusiasm towards him - he does not feel loved."
