The Italian businessman has said that the PSG owners gave him the go-ahead to speak to Cavani’s brother about a potential move to Leeds in the Championship in England.
However, negotiations did not go according to what Radrizzani expected, with the Uruguay international striker ultimately deciding to stay put at PSG.
Radrizzani told Gianlucadimarzio.com: “Cavani? The president had given me the willingness to check the interest with the player’s brother. But the negotiation never flew.”
