Edinson Cavani has made just nine appearances for PSG this season, accumulating only 330 minutes. Gómez seemed incensed with how the Parisians have treated her son. She added that PSG have mistreated the striker despite Cavani spending 7 years at the club. Cavani has scored 198 goals in 293 appearances in his seven years at the club. It is reported that Chelsea are also in the mix to sign Edinson Cavani in January. PSG are looking for a reported fee of around €20 million to let the striker go in January.

With Kylian Mbappe, Mauro Icardi and Neymar present at PSG, Cavani has found it difficult to find a spot in the starting XI. Certainly, a player of his stature deserves something better.
