Reports: LA Galaxy targeting PSG's Edinson Cavani as Zlatan replacement

Edinson Cavani - PSG - Clapping

TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Reports


With Zlatan Ibrahimovic riding into the sunset after two eventful, goal-heavy seasons in Southern California, the LA Galaxy are sizing up another former Paris Saint-Germain striker as his replacement, according to new reports out of Italy.


Edinson Cavani was linked to 2020 MLS expansion side Inter Miami over the summer, but now transfer-market specialist Gianluca Di Marzio is among those reporting that the Galaxy could swoop in to beat the newcomers to the Uruguayanā€™s signature, while Sky Sports Italy has also echoed the link.

Cavani, 32, is very much in the Ibra mold of a lanky, well-rounded No. 9, albeit with a somewhat less headline-driving personality. He's been a prolific scorer at every stop in his career, first rising to prominence in Italy with Palermo and Napoli before becoming one of PSG's galactico-type signings in 2013.


He's scored well over 100 goals for the Parisians and also owns a healthy scoring record at international level, including strikes in the 2010, 2014 and 2018 FIFA World Cups.
