And the Spanish sports newspaper "Marca" wrote that the 33-year-old historic club's top scorer "will not play the Champions League this season with Paris Saint-Germain" in a information confirmed later by the French "RMC Spor" network, which also indicated that the Belgian defender Touma Monier He will follow the example of Cavani.
On its website, "RMC Spo" wrote that Monier "also decided to leave Paris Saint-Germain starting June 30th. The Belgian will therefore not be among the professional group that returns (for the exercises) next Monday."
After his season ended early due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus and crowned a hero without completing the championship, Saint Germain is preparing for the quarter-finals of the Champions League between 12 and 15 August, and he is also invited to run in the end of July the French Cup final against Saint-Etienne, and final French Professionals League Cup against Lyon.
In the event that the information, "Marca" and "RMC Sport" is accurate, then Cavani's departure from the capital club, which he reached in 2013 on his way to become the best scorer in the history of (200 goals), will sadden Saint Germain fans, but it will be justified to some extent Big from the player's point of view, because he lost his primary position in the German coach's squad, Thomas defended Argentine newcomer Mauro Icardi, who was hired for good after he was loaned this season from Inter Milan.
The sports director of the Brazilian St. Germain Leonardo has previously announced the departure of Cavani at the end of the season, to the international leader, his Brazilian compatriot Thiago Silva.

With losses estimated at more than 200 million euros after the final cessation of the French league due to the "Covid 19" virus, there was a need to reduce the salaries of players that exceed 300 million euros, as Silva and Cavani are one of the main elements in the squad that gets large salaries.
