Chelsea have reportedly made initial contact with Paris Saint-Germain over the transfer of Edinson Cavani in a bid to secure a replacement for Alvaro Morata, should the striker return to Juventus this summer.
Reports earlier in the week claimed the Spaniard is desperate to return to Italy and has already agreed personal terms with Juventus, which will see him take a significant pay cut to realise the move.
A fee has yet to be agreed between the two clubs and with Juventus not willing to spend more than £60m on the 25-year-old - who previously played for the club between 2014 and 2016 - a two-year loan deal with a mandatory option to buy has been proposed.
