Cavani can leave for £60m

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed that Edinson Cavani will be sold in the summer but only if he is paid the striker's buyout clause of €70m (£60m).

However, the Italian insists that the Uruguayan will make the final decision on his future.

"We included a very high buyout clause in his contract because we want him to stay at Napoli," he told reporters.

"The clause exists, though, and if someone is willing to pay €70m (£60m) for him, which would mean a net fee of €63m (£54m) for Napoli, we are ready to listen to the offer.

"However, let it be clear that the final decision lies with Edinson. He knows that he's respected here and that the people love him not just for his goals, but also because he's a serious and polite person."

Cavani has scored 20 goals in 26 Serie A appearances so far this season.
