PARIS: French champions Paris Saint-Germain are expected to confirm today the completion of the transfer of Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani from Italian Serie A club Napoli.

The fee is a French league record E64m which would make Cavani the second most expensive player of all time after Cristiano Ronaldo for whom Real Madrid paid Manchester United E85m three years ago.

Cavani underwent a medical at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital on Monday.

However his imminent arrival is already raising concerns that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, hero of last season’s championship success, has asked his agent Mino Raiola to find him a new club elsewhere.
