Edinson Cavani is reluctant to demand a move away from Napoli.

Naples sources say Chelsea and Manchester City are preparing £30 million offers for the Uruguay international.

But Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis won't sell - unless Cavani slaps in a transfer request.

De Laurentiis fired a barb at Cavani last week over new contract demands: "He can rot on the bench if he asks €7-8 million-a-year."

But rather than spoil for a fight, Cavani made contact with De Laurentiis while in London for the Olympics to assure him that he wasn't seeking to force his sale.
