PSG stalwart Edinson Cavani's spell in Paris is finally set to end. The veteran forward was close to joining Atletico Madrid in the winter transfer window, however, negotiations broke down. It has been reported that several top clubs will vie for Cavani, who will be a free agent. L'Equipe reported that Boca Juniors are paying close attention and could try to land the striker.
Chelsea star Pedro's deal is set to come to an end with the Premier League club. The Spaniard is yet to hold talks with the Blues and discuss on what's to follow. "I don't know whether I'll keep playing here or not. That conversation is still to come. But I have not signed for any other club. I belong to Chelsea," said Pedro.
