'If it were for money, Edi would have gone to England' - Cavani's brother hits back at Atletico transfer claims

Edinson Cavani’s brother and agent Walter Fernando has hit back at comments by Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo claiming he had demanded an €18 million (£15m/$20) bonus to facilitate the transfer.

As reported by Goal last weekend, Cavani had verbally agreed to move to the Wanda Metropolitano and a deal was expected to be completed before Friday’s deadline.

However, no move materialised and on deadline day PSG boss Thomas Tuchel confirmed that the Uruguayan was to stay in the French capital and see out the final six months of his contract.
