Camoranesi: ‘Juve, get Cavani!’

By Football Italia staff

Former Juventus winger Mauro Camoranesi tells his old club to sign Edinson Cavani if they want to make a leap forward in Europe.

There was speculation yesterday that the Bianconeri were in negotiations for the former Napoli man, and Camoranesi believes they should do everything in their power to secure his signature.

“Cavani is a world-class striker,” the former Italian international told Tuttosport.

“Cavani and [Carlos] Tevez would be a fantastic strike partenership.

“Maybe he wouldn’t be enough to ensure they won the Champions League, but he’d certainly help them make a leap forward in Europe.

“It’s hard, there’s so much competition in Europe. They still need a few years to be able to compete with the superpowers.

“It’s important to show that you’re a top club by getting great players on the transfer market, not average signings leaving you with five players you have to sell.”

Despite winning the World Cup with Italy, Camoranesi was born in Argentina, and discussed compatriot Paulo Dybala, who has also been linked with the Old Lady.

“Dybala is a lad who can change a game, so he could be Juventus quality. That said, playing for Palermo is one thing, Juventus is quite another.

“Dybala is a loose cannon, the difference with Juve is that he’d have to do more. I’m reminded of something Fabio Capello used to say…

“What was it? When he was pointed in the direction of a talented lad he’d say: ‘Let’s see how he does with another club, we’ll take him when we’re sure he can make a difference.’”
