Rothen expects Liverpool, Man City target Cavani to leave PSG

Former PSG midfielder Jerome Rothen can't see Edinson Cavani sticking with the Parisiens.

Rothen, who made 139 appearances for the Parisian club, claimed that although Cavani could have a future with the French champions, he will always struggle in a team dominated by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"He (Cavani) can still succeed in Paris, but his performances will be more or less the same. Everything depends on the tactical choices of Laurent Blanc. However, I can't see him staying long-term in Paris," Rothen told Le 10 Sport.

"If he reiterates his desire to leave, the club will not keep him, especially if he has the same performances as last year - the directors won't necessarily be satisfied."

Cavani has been linked with Liverpool and Manchester City in the past week.
