PSG Hopes To Keep Cavani, Experiments With 4-4-2 Diamond  

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue May 12, 2015 7:10 pm

There is a good chance of Edinson Cavani leaving Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

Cavani expected to play alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a 4-4-2, but he's instead been forced wide in a 4-3-3.

Manchester United are expected to pursue Cavani as he would be a perfect fit for their striker need.

Cavani wants to remain in the Champions League, which rules out Liverpool.

Atletico Madrid are also believed to be interested in Cavani, but there's a question of whether they could afford to spend upwards of €50 million on him.

PSG remains committed to Cavani and could shift formations to accommodate him.

In PSG's last two league games, Laurent Blanc shifted his formation from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2 diamond behind Ibrahimovic and Cavani. Javier Pastore played a No. 10 role, while Marco Verratti facilitated play from a deeper role.
