Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani on Thursday claimed that he would not be leaving the French champions this summer, despite ongoing speculation about his future.
“I am staying, why would I not?” said the 27-year-old Uruguay star, who only joined PSG a year ago in a Ligue 1 record deal from Napoli worth 64 million euros (£50.7m, $85.6m).
“I am very happy in Paris and I have a contract with PSG to respect,” added Cavani, who was speaking in Beijing, where his club are due to face Guingamp on Saturday in the Champions Trophy, the French season-opener between the champions and the Cup holders.
“I feel good here. But as I have already said, it does not only depend on the position of the player but also on certain things that can happen inside a club.”
