Edinson Cavani is being targetted by a lot of clubs in the winter transfer window. Ever since the time the Uruguayan fell down the pecking order in PSG, other European giants have tried to bag the player. Atletico Madrid were leading the race to sign Cavani but they are yet to agree on a transfer fee with PSG. As there is only one day left for the winter transfer window to end, the Atleti-Cavani move looks unlikely. However, there is another bidder for Cavani in the market. It's David Beckham's Inter Miami which will make its debut in the MLS soon.

Luka Modric, Luis Suarez and David Silva are amongst some players who were rumoured to join Inter Miami in the past. Edinson Cavani to Inter Miami will be a very big thing for the MLS as well. The 32-year-old has scored a total of 136 goals in 195 games while playing for PSG. Since the time Mauro Icardi joined PSG, Edinson Cavani has only made four starts for PSG. None of them came in the Champions League. As Edinson Cavani's exit from PSG is surely on the cards, the club might as well make some money from the deal before the Uruguayan becomes a free agent.
