Edinson Cavani’s Contract History

Cavani started his professional career with local Uruguayan club Danubio in the capital Montevideo. After spending two years there he moved to Italy and joined the Serie A side Palermo. In 2010, after spending four years with Palermo, Edinson moved to Napoli on a $19.2 Million fee. This is the club where Cavani excelled and got the global attention.

After spending four more years with the Italian club, the Uruguayan made his record breaking move to France. The striker moved to Paris St. Germain on a $72.5 million fee. This was the highest paid fee for a player in Ligue 1 back then. Factually Cavani is also PSG’s all time top goal scorer. Lately in 2020, the 34-year-old made his much impressive move to English giants Manchester United for an undisclosed fee and this is his home now.
