Copa America Uruguayan admits appeal of La Liga move

Edinson Cavani has heightened speculation linking him with Atletico Madrid, by admitting that it is a club that interests him and that football is an uncertain game.

There has been speculation that the forward could move to Diego Simeone's side this summer due to reported unhappiness over his role at Paris Saint-Germain, and he did little to subdue the rumours in a press conference ahead of the Copa America.

"It's a really competitive team that has demonstrated interest in me and that pleases me, you never know if things could go further.

"Football is always changing and you never know."

Cavani did maintain that he is committed to PSG for the moment, and refused to be drawn further into debate about a potential move to Madrid.

"Right now I'm a PSG player and I have to respect that; it would be improper to speak more about it," the striker added.

The 29-year-old's importance in the Uruguayan set-up has been increased even further by an injury to teammate Luis Suarez, which will see the Pichichi winner miss the start of the tournament.

Another player at the heart of the squad is Atletico player Diego Godin, and Cavani admitted that he has spoken with the defender about Los Colchoneros.

"We're all friends in the team and Diego is in contact with everybody, being the captain.

"Sometimes it's inevitable that we'll talk about the club he's at, it's normal he'd consult me about things involving me," he concluded.
