Ander Herrera has claimed that Paris Saint-Germain teammate Edinson Cavani ‘wants to play in Spain’, in a blow to Inter.

Inter are reported to be in hot pursuit of Cavani, with his contract expiring next
month and PSG having already bought his replacement – Mauro Icardi.

However, Atletico Madrid have equally been linked with the 33-year-old and Herrera suggested Diego Simeone’s side had the upper hand.

“I know Cavani wants to play in Spain because it’s a league and a country that he loves,” the former Manchester United midfielder told AS.

“In fact, I’ve been wondering a lot about what he’ll do, but since we left Paris I’ve not had the chance to speak to him and I’m unaware of his current situation.”
